Cast AniMat’s crazy animated feature: Stupid Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Four kids on their home planet make a mysterious discovery that lands them 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 the little Neal brothers is the same one that Chewbacca’s family follows in the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
Give me an Andor-like show set in the Old Republic with Jedi, Sith, and Nick Gillard as a lightsaber battle stunt coordinator
Like most kids from the 80s, I have fond memories of The Goonies, but I’d be lying if I said it was a direction I really wanted for new Star Wars content. I mean, after the disappointment of the sequel trilogy and beyond — I would rate all of Disney’s live-action content, except for Andor, Rogue One, and the first two seasons of Mando, somewhere between mediocre and bad — I’m just hungry for some good, mature, epic Star Wars content. It’s not offensive or poorly made; it’s definitely not as cheap as the Boba Fett book; it’s not pointless like Mando Season 3; it’s not revealing news like the sequels and Kenobi; it’s not tone-deaf like Acolyte.
The writing so far (from episode 2) is decent: the effects, costumes, and locations look great: everything has its own charm
Hate? It’s basically Star Wars Goonies — a cute story about a bunch of kids having adventures in the Star Wars universe. I’m guessing this, like Andora, is a passion project for its creators, and was seen as a minor side project by the higher-ups, so they didn’t bother to get involved, which is a blessing at Lucasfilm these days.
So far so good
