Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in “Skeleton Crew” plus more stars from a galaxy far, far away. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s younger siblings is the same one Chewbacca’s family attended in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978). in the wacky cartoon cast of AniMat: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022). I’ve watched the first two episodes and while there’s a clear 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 of a suburban town in this world because we’ve never seen that. The town they come from reminded me more of E.T.’s neighborhood than anything we’ve seen in shows recently. The four main characters are typical but fun, each with their clearly defined roles in the group and well-played by the actors. The pirate vibe isn’t necessarily something we’ve seen before and adds a slightly creepy element and an atmosphere of danger. If this were an 80s movie, it would have fit right in. I’m enjoying it so far for the new storytelling elements of the Star Wars universe, the nostalgic touches of the films from my childhood, and the fact that I get to share this Star Wars experience with my kids. Good job!. Update your watchlist with the latest list of streaming movies and TV shows coming to Disney+, featuring old favorites and top-notch new additions.
