AniMat’s crazy cartoon Starring: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Chronology
Four kids on their home planet make a mysterious discovery that leaves them lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in "Skeleton Crew" and more stars from a galaxy far, far away. Like most kids from the 80s, I have fond memories of The Goonies, but I’d be lying if I said it was the direction I really wanted new Star Wars content to go.
honestly, Skeleton Crew is fine
I think after the disappointments of the sequel trilogy and many others – all of Disney’s live-action content, with the exception of Andor, Rogue One, and the first two seasons of Mando – I’m just craving some good, mature, epic Star Wars content. Give me a show like Andor set in the Old Republic with Jedi, Sith, and Nick Gillard as a stunt coordinator in lightsaber battles. HOWEVER…
The writing so far (from episode 2) is decent: the effects, costumes, and locations look great: there’s a certain charm to everything
It’s not offensive or poorly made; not blatantly cheap like the Boba Fett book; not pointless like Mando Season 3; not lore-breaking like the sequels and Kenobi; not dull like Acolyte. Hooray? This is basically Star Wars Goonies, a neat little story about a bunch of kids having an adventure in the Star Wars universe.
So far so good75/10
I think this, like Andor, is a passion project for its creators and was seen by the Higher-ups as a little side project, so they didn’t bother to get involved, which is a blessing for Lucasfilm these days. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our December calendar for more details!
