in the crazy AniMat cartoon: Stupid, Old, Deadly Bear (2022)
Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leaves them lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in “Skeleton Crew”; plus more stars from a galaxy far, far away… The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s younger brothers is the same circus that Chewbacca’s family follows in the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
Give me an Andor-style show set in the Old Republic with a Jedi, a Sith, and Nick Gillard as a stunt coordinator for lightsaber battles
Like most 80s kids, I have fond memories of The Goonies, but I’d be lying if I said I was desperate for this direction 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 with the exception of Andor, Rogue One, and the first two seasons of Mando as average to bad – I’m just starving for some good, mature, epic Star Wars content.
It’s basically Star Wars Goonies, a beautiful story about a group of kids having an adventure in the Star Wars universe
It’s not offensive or poorly done; it’s certainly not cheap like The Book of Boba Fett; it’s not pointless like Season 3 of Mando; it’s not giving away news like sequels and Kenobi; they’re not tone deaf like Acolyte. Hate?
So far so good
So far (as of Episode 2) the writing is decent: the effects, costumes, and locations look great: it all has a certain charm to it. I’m guessing that this project, like Andor, is a passion project for the creators, and was seen as a side project by the higher-ups, so he didn’t bother to get involved, which is a blessing at Lucasfilm these days.
