After a mysterious discovery on their home planet, four children are lost on a perilous journey across the galaxy. They try their best to find a way that will lead them home.
Their adventure, far beyond anything they could have imagined, involves encounters with both allies and unlikely enemies…
who is he with
Headlining Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is none other than Jude Law, known for his romantic comedies as well as intense dramas and blockbusters. The British actor, seen in the films “Vacation”, “The Talented Mr. Ripley” or “Fantastic Beasts”, plays a very mysterious role, which fans are really happy to uncover.
Other notable names include Nick Frost (Good Morning England), who lends his voice to the droid SM-33, Kerry Condon, the Irish actor who made a splash in Inisherin’s Banshee alongside Colin Farrell, and singer and actor Tunde. Adebimpe, seen in Girlfriend Experience and Twisters.
This Star Wars franchise is complete with a quartet of adorable kids played by up-and-coming young talent. Thus, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, who voiced Antiono in the animated film Encanto, plays Wim; Ryan Kira Armstrong, seen in Black Widow and Firestarter, plays Fern; Robert Timothy Smith, seen in Wolfs and soon Dear Santa, plays Neil, and finally young Kyrianna Crater (Camp Kikiwaka) plays KB.
is it worth watching
Each Star Wars series has its own tone. After Star Wars: The Acolyte, there is a radical change of atmosphere for the new Skeleton Crew fiction. But it’s a family atmosphere full of adventure, creatures and childish mischief that’s good for the rest of the year.
Created and directed by Jon Watts and Christopher Ford (Spider-Man: No Way Home), Star Wars: The Skeleton Crew is an action series for young and old with an 80s flavor inspired by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment productions such as The Goonies, ET or Back to the Future.
A series of toys created with passion and nostalgia
Like Stranger Things meets Star Wars, this series should allow the whole family to follow this exciting adventure by a group of terrifyingly adorable children, from dreamy Wim, to intrepid Fern, to brilliant KB and adorable Neal.
For the group, there is no upside-down world, but a journey to the edge of space, during which they will encounter an abandoned ship, pirates, bounty hunters, creatures and other aliens, droids and even force-sensitive beings.
All this is illustrated by the excellent work of technical artists for authentic and immersive sets, reproduced in human scale for the enjoyment of the big kids who are the creators and directors, but also for the performance of the young talents on the set.
Like old school productions, most of the creatures and aliens are puppets and animatronics created from scratch, and we feel that the use of special effects or Volume (giant LED panels that can change images in real time) is done very well. balance.
Set on the heels of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, the series shows a peaceful New Republic, even as we feel that the dark side is never far away and that the ashes of the Empire are still hot.
A perfect family series for the end of the year
But we shouldn’t expect any big scares (at least in the first three episodes that we were able to watch), especially since the series is often painted with very childish music.
While the children hope to find their way home, they won’t be alone in their quest. They can rely on a mysterious guide with multiple identities, played by the brilliant and charismatic Jude Law, who uses and abuses evil, authority and power to set them up (or deceive?).
In addition to this enigmatic mentor that fans are sure to enjoy discussing, Wim, Fern, KB, and Neel are also accompanied by a damaged and grumpy droid named SM-33, voiced by Nick Frost.
We enjoy following this band of random and ill-fated people in search of the secrets and other treasures contained within their very secretive planet, Attin. Is their home as warm and well-designed, as safe and healthy as suburban housing, schools, and other infrastructure seem?
We’ll find out the rest of this delightful family tale that will put stars in the eyes and warm the hearts of children young and old, whether they’re Star Wars fans or not.
Even if it is clear that there are many touches in this world that still make us dream so much, and we appreciate this return to the sources of the saga, which are still under the ship.
The first two episodes of the series “Star Wars: The Crew” are available on the Disney+ platform. The rest of the series will air one episode a week.
