Four boys make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to become lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy.. Jude Law in “Skeleton Crew”; plus other stars from a galaxy far, far away.. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s young brothers is the same one that Chewbacca’s family watches in the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).. Featured in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022). I watched the first two episodes and while it’s obvious that there’s an effort to create a “Goonies in Space” show here, what’s so wrong with that? This is a very different take on an existing story in the Star Wars universe. I liked the look and feel of a suburban town in this world because we’ve never really seen it. The town they’re from reminded me more of E.T.’s neighborhood than anything we’ve seen in recent shows. The 4 main characters are typical but fun, each of them has their own well-defined role in the group and are played well by the actors. The pirate atmosphere is not necessarily something we have seen before and adds a slightly creepy element and atmosphere of danger. If this were an 80’s movie it would have been perfect. So far I am enjoying the new story elements of the Star Wars universe, the hints of nostalgia for my childhood movies and the fact that I can share this Star Wars experience with my kids. Well done!
