Featured in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Four children make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to become lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law’s “Skeleton Crew” and more stars from a galaxy far, far away. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s younger siblings is the same one that Chewbacca’s family attends in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978). While Skeleton Crew is geared toward kids to bring in the next generation of Star Wars fans, it surprisingly appeals to older viewers as well. In this Star Wars series, four children discover a starship buried in the forest on At Attin, a peaceful and prosperous planet hidden in a galaxy full of pirates, greed, and chaos.
Luckily, the ship comes with a decaying droid who helps guide them
Dreaming of adventure—at least some of it—the children accidentally activate the ship and end up lost on the other side of the galaxy. But because the kids have lived a sheltered life, they often stumble into trouble. While it’s unmistakably Star Wars, Skeleton Crew feels like an ’80s kids’ adventure movie—think The Goonies—but set in space. For longtime fans, it’s packed with nostalgic touches, from the spacecraft and equipment to the alien creatures, all reminiscent of the original trilogy. Hardcore fans will also love the many Easter eggs scattered throughout, which bring back fond memories of the franchise’s early days.
The younger actors, while less experienced, do a decent job
I particularly appreciated seeing younger versions of several alien species we’ve met from previous films. It makes the galaxy feel more connected, showing that some alien races are a constant presence rather than one-off appearances. There are also fun cameos, like a brief glimpse of a boy who looks like a young Kylo Ren. These little details keep you hooked and eager to see more. Jude Law, the biggest star of the cast, doesn’t appear until the end of the second episode, so it’s hard to judge the overall quality of the acting right off the bat.
The special effects are impeccable, leaving nothing to criticize
Two of the main children stand out, reminding me of performances in classics like The Goonies or Stand by Me. One of the four children is a non-human alien, which makes it hard to judge his performance, and another wears a cybernetic visor that hides much of his facial expression, bringing to mind Geordi La Forge from Star Trek. The production quality is top-notch, with Disney’s budget clearly on display. However, the episodes are quite short, and the long end credits – over five minutes – feel excessive. With only eight episodes in the season, I fear the story won’t progress much unless the pace picks up significantly.
Despite these concerns, Skeleton Crew has been a pleasant surprise
It’s fun, nostalgic, and engaging for viewers of all ages. I’m excited to see where the story goes and happy that it offers something even for adult fans of the Star Wars universe.
