Four kids 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” and other stars from a galaxy far, far away. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s younger siblings is the same one the Chewbacca 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 there is a clear effort to create a “Goonies in space” show here, what’s wrong with that? This is a very different take on a story that exists in the Star Wars universe. I enjoyed the look and feel of what a suburban town looks like in this world because we’ve never really seen that. The town they come from reminded me more of E. T. than anything we’ve seen in the shows recently. The 4 main characters are typical but enjoyable, each with their own clearly defined role in the group and are well played by the actors. The pirate vibe isn’t necessarily something we’ve seen play out before and adds a slightly creepy element and an air of danger. If this were an 80s movie it would have fit right in. I’m enjoying it so far for the new narrative elements of the Star Wars universe, the nostalgic touches of my childhood movies and the fact that I can share this Star Wars experience with my kids. Well done!. Refresh your watchlist with the latest list of movies and TV shows streaming on Disney+, featuring old favorites and top newcomers.
