Jude Law in “Skeleton Crew”; and more stars from a distant galaxy
Narrative
Four children make a mysterious discovery on their home planet, which causes them to get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s little brothers is the same as Chewbacca’s family clock from the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
Featured in AniMat’s silly cartoon cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Ok, as exciting as it is to get new Star Wars content these days, I always have to give it a shot, and after the first episode, if Skeleton Crew here’s what I found good… and what I found BAD : Watch the ship space to the ceiling in the opening scene, just like the rebel soldier in A New Hope.
The top view of the suburbs takes me back to Spielberg’s early 80’s family films
Raleigh Burner style liner in Kids Speeder One of the child characters in Charlie Shee’s police station scene from Ferris Buellers Day Off General boring normal daily mess in the Evil galaxy The rest of it, not an original idea or a short idea that doesn’t work anymore good in a movie like Explorers, E.T, Flight of the Navigator Even if it’s poorly acted a clone of stranger things, it looks a little cheap, Star Wars is mostly disguised in an 80s kids adventure movie. Also, Disney Star Wars is drifting further and further away from its true audience, but if I were 10 years old again, all these complaints would be irrelevant and I would believe that .
And isn’t it?
