plus more stars from a galaxy far, far away
Story
Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s young siblings is a watch of Chewbacca’s family from the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)..
I found BAD
Featured AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear ( 2022) Okay, so it’s exciting to have new Star Wars content these days. GOOD: A look at the ceiling of a spaceship in the opening scene, like the rebel trooper in A New Hope.
The usual boring everyday life in the galaxy is chaotic, not even the original idea or short thought that was done better in a movie like Explorers, E
The view from above in the suburbs takes me back to Spielberg’s early ’80s family movies, the Rally Burner-style padding on a kid’s speeder, a child character played by Charlie Sheen in the police station scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. T, even Flight of the Navigator, which is a poorly executed Stranger Things clone that seems a bit cheap, Star Wars is often crowbarred for a kid’s horror movie from the 80s.
Isn’t that the point, really?
Again with Disney Star Wars, it’s moving further and further away from its true audience, but….. If I were 10 years old again, all of this crap would be irrelevant and I’d think it’s the best thing I’ve seen in ages.
