Featured on AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Synopsis
Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to become lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in "Skeleton Crew" and more stars from a galaxy far, far away. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s little siblings is the same one that Chewbacca’s family watches in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
The first 2 episodes don’t tread any new ground, nor are they very original, but that’s not a bother as it delivers well on everything
Since I know a lot of hate will be directed towards this show due to the ups and downs of recent Star Wars, I’m happy to say this is a plus. So far… The cast and their performances are great, the costume and set design is probably the best we’ve seen since Andor, the writing, especially the funny banter between the kids, was good.
It gives me strong Treasure Planet vibes
Again, nothing new, but it’s intriguing nonetheless, and I’m excited to keep watching it. As someone who hasn’t enjoyed recent Star Wars, I was surprised by Skeleton Crew. I hope everyone who is even mildly interested, or even annoyed with recent shows, gives it a chance.

Don’t let the “for kids” talk 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.
