We had some leaked pictures earlier than, however about 4 months earlier than Skeleton Crew will come to Disney+ Lucasfilm is slowly gearing up its advertising efforts for the subsequent Star Wars sequence. They launched a few official photographs from the present and a few primary information. Skeleton Crew was prepared for launch in 2023 however was delayed due to Bob Iger’s new content material technique, filming led to January 2023, this has been sitting within the vault for a while already. Click on by way of for the photographs!
That is an outdated leaked set photograph… contained in the article you see it after submit!
I’ve a foul feeling about this…
Sure, I do know it’s sort of trendy as of late to be crucial of all issues Star Wars on Disney+. However the leaked trailer already gave off a bizarre vibe, as in, it appeared like “Earth” and as if vehicles had been on the streets on no matter planet the children are on.
And you may inform, they lean closely into Nineteen Eighties children film with Skeleton Crew.
Supply: Lucasfilm
This is similar scene as within the leaked photograph, solely barely totally different. we are able to inform that the child taking part in Max Rebo Jr. is partially CGI. What was alleged to be from a gown rehearsal seems to be a scene from the precise present….
Did this price 180 million as effectively? You’d suppose it is a low funds manufacturing based mostly on the standard of the CGI and Quantity work right here:
This seems to be woefully pretend. Supply: Lucasfilm
The shot of two of the children on a sidecar speeder seems to be terrible. We speak Nineteen Fifties rear projection studio shot terrible, if you by no means believed for one second the actor(s) had been really on location. This nearly seems to be like one thing from a online game. If that is the Quantity, and it positive seems to be prefer it, then they really want to tweak the method, that is as dangerous as historic rear projection. This seems to be actually, actually dangerous.
Steven Spielberg desires his walkie talkies again…
Area BMX bikes. Supply: Lucasfilm
The one factor lacking right here is ET driving shotgun. It’s straightforward to see what they’re aiming for right here, however it simply doesn’t say “Star Wars”. It says “ET” with a bizarre blue alien child. Additionally, walkie talkies? Actually? Couldn’t they at the least give them correct girl shavers as seen in The Phantom Menace?
We now have Nineteen Seventies flashlights in Star Wars…
The Well-known 5 in seek for clues (the children discover their droid companion who will assist them on their journey). Supply: Lucasfilm
We had residence depot steel detectors in The Acolyte. Now we now have off the shelf (so far as I can inform) flashlights. As a result of, you already know, ANY children film from the Nineteen Eighties or so had them use walkie talkies and flashlights. Once more, I see what they’re aiming for right here however it seems to be actually like Goonies or ET and never like Star Wars.
That is the official blurb:
“When 4 children make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly protected residence planet, they get misplaced in a wierd and harmful galaxy,” the present’s official synopsis reads. “Discovering their approach residence, assembly unlikely allies and enemies might be a better journey than they ever imagined.”
Skeleton Crew additionally options a number of youngster actors, the 4 leads are Ravi Cabot-Conyers (Wim), Kyriana Kratter (KB), Robert Timothy Smith (Neel), and Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Fern).
Skeleton Crew might be launched on December third.
What do you suppose? This seems to be like Stranger Issues – The Star Wars Version. Solely 5 years late.
Credible leakers (Making Star Wars and Bespin Bulletin) reported behind the scenes points. Apparently Lucasfilm didn’t know what to do with the present, and apparently plans modified as they had been filming and the tip result’s nothing anybody anticipated or is overly proud of. Based on these studies take a look at screenings (inside) weren’t effectively acquired.
I’ve the sinking feeling this may very well be a good larger flop than The Acolyte. I actually hope the present might be good. Additionally, since 4 younger children are the celebrities right here it might be essential for them to not be caught within the crossfire, they’re simply children they usually do no matter it’s the director(s) and author(s) inform them to do.
Based on the co-showrunner Jon Watts Jude Legislation mentored the children as effectively and likewise was their co-acting coach, which is sensible, since Legislation has loads of expertise. About Jude Legislation: his character title has been revealed as effectively, he’s taking part in Jod Na Nawood. I personally would have most well-liked Bob Loblaw for his title, since Ron Howard is actually on good phrases with Disney he certainly would have given his approval.
However what do you suppose? Do the set photographs make you are feeling optimistic? Or do you are feeling it will likely be a catastrophe?
And for Hasbro’s sake I hope they don’t have to help this present with any toys. In any respect.
It is going to be an extended, darkish winter. Except you reside in Australia or New Zealand.
