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 is entertaining Neel's young siblings is the same one Chewbacca's family watch in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).. Featured in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022). Watched the first two episodes and while there is a clear effort to create a "goonies in space" show here, what is so wrong with that? This is a much different take on a story existing in the Star Wars universe. I enjoyed the look and feel of what a suburban town looks like in this world because we have never really seen that. The town they come from reminded me more of the neighborhood from E. T. then anything we had seen recently in shows. The 4 main characters are typical but enjoyable, they each have their clearly defined roles in the group and are acted well by the actors. The pirate vibe isn't necessarily something we have seen played out before and adds a slightly spooky element and an atmosphere of danger. If this was a movie from the 80s it would have fit right in. Enjoying it so far for the new story telling elements in the Star Wars universe, the hints of nostalgia of movies of my childhood, and the fact I can share this Star Wars experience with my kids. Well done!. Freshen up your Watchlist with the latest roster of streaming movies and TV shows coming to Disney+, featuring old favorites and top-notch newcomers.
