38/33
in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Story
Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that sends them lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in the «Skeleton Crew»; plus more stars from a galaxy far, far away… The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s little siblings is the same one Chewbacca’s family watches in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
The first 2 episodes don’t break new ground, or very original, but that’s not a problem, because it does everything right
Since I know a lot of hate will be directed at this show due to the ups and downs of the recent Star Wars, I’m happy to say that this one is an up. So far… The cast and acting are great, the costume/set design is probably the best I’ve seen since Andor, the writing, especially the funny banter between the kids, was good.
It’s giving me heavy Treasure Planet vibes
Again, nothing new, but it’s still intriguing and I’m excited to keep watching. As someone who hasn’t enjoyed Star Wars recently, I was surprised by Skeleton Crew. I hope everyone who’s been a little uninterested or even annoyed by the recent shows gives it a try.

Don’t let the «for kids» language put you off. Star Wars is made for everyone, and so is this one. «One Hundred Years of Solitude» is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
