High budgets, scrapped projects, fan backlash. It’s been 12 years since Disney bought 'Star Wars' and its galaxy far, far away arguably has too many broken toys.
I was quite looking forward to Star Wars: Skeleton Crew until I saw the first trailer. It looks like someone is trying to do The Goonies in space. The one image that really disheartened me is the shot of the suburbs, rows of houses and streets. Star Wars isn’t a place where I’d expect to see suburbs, it’s in a galaxy far, far away, a long time ago.
It’s very similar to when The Book of Boba Fett had their version of the 60s scooter scene. It doesn’t work and took me completely out of the episode.
Also that scene was so low energy? These are supposed to be tough speeder tuner punks and instead they look like teenagers dicking around on the scooters at Walmart.
