Jude Law in "Skeleton Crew" plus more stars from a galaxy far, far away
Plot
Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy.. The holographic circus that is entertaining Neel's young siblings is the same one Chewbacca's family watched in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)..
Skeleton Crew is a TV series for kids
Featured in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022). And that's fine, because Star Wars has often been kid-friendly and why shouldn't there be kids show with a Star Wars theme?
But it's not a show about kids that's adult friendly, like Stranger Things or Paper Girls
It's more like a show designed specifically to appeal to ten-year-olds and no one else.Skeleton crew starts out in the suburbs. It's a Star Wars universe suburbs, but take away the robots and aliens and it could be where I grew up.
So that was an interesting twist for a moment or twoUnfortunately, these suburbs are populated by boring characters with uninteresting problems
And yes, this is all setup for the big moment at the end of the first episode, but I was so bored by that first episode that halfway through I just started skipping forward and even the final action just seemed – meh.Will it get better when Jude Law shows up? Maybe.
So that's all I watched
But I feel if a show's first episode is so tedious I can't suffer through it then it's probably not getting a lot better anytime soon. Freshen up your Watchlist with the latest roster of streaming movies and TV shows coming to Disney+, featuring old favorites and top-notch newcomers.
