47 years later, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Finally giving the team a chance to figure out how to avoid the so-called “Tatooine Trap.” The galaxy far, far away is vast and diverse – with hundreds if not thousands of species and planets to explore and discover. that’s part Star Wars’ Charm; each new location offers new surroundings, new history and new lore, establishing Star Wars mythology and create endless new possibilities for storytelling.
Interestingly (or annoyingly), however, many Star Wars’ Planets are very homogeneous, with only one landscape, one climate, or one settlement. Coruscant is a city planet, so there is only one city. Tatooine is a desert planet, so there is only desert here. Endor is a forest moon, so it consists only of forests, and we often return to these planets. But in a galaxy this massive, wouldn’t it make more sense to have planets with more diverse environments? skeleton crew It seems that is indeed the case.
The Star Wars galaxy often feels maddeningly small
how many times Star Wars Return to Tatooine? Yes, it is the birthplace of Anakin Skywalker. Yes, Luke Skywalker grew up there. Yes, this is the site of Jabba the Hutt’s palace. But how necessary is it for a show like this The Mandalorian and boba fett books Also paying so much attention to Tatooine? i often think Star Wars The Milky Way is depressingly small. Yes, Star Wars is a franchise built on nostalgia, but the nostalgia for a place like Tatooine has become too much; too overwhelming.
Why stick to the planets we already know and limit these worlds to just one type of landscape or cityscape, when they can have so much more fun designing new worlds?
Coruscant is another such place, and while I can understand the need to return there since it’s the galactic capital, the point still stands. The stories that take place there are also usually limited to the Jedi Temple or the Senate, although there’s plenty to see. Star Wars The possibilities are endless. No environment can Star Wars cannot realistically be included in its world-building. So why stick to the planets we already know and limit those worlds to just one type of landscape or cityscape when they can have so much more fun designing new worlds?
The Skeleton Crew is avoiding a ‘Tatooine trap’
Fortunately, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Understand that places like Tatooine and Coruscant are not the be all and end all Star Wars. every planet we visit skeleton crew So far this is new and exciting and pushes the boundaries of what’s possible. Even better, as viewers, we see these new planets in the same way the four lost children did – with new eyes and awe, without knowing what to expect.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew explained
Star Wars’ newest TV show, Skeleton Crew , is clearly not afraid to try new things, as evidenced by the show’s brand-new planets.
So far we’ve encountered two legendary treasure planets, including Artin, Star Wars’ Suburban Edition, Pirate Outpost, Pirate Lair, Crescent (and gorgeous), and Luxury Spa. What else awaits us? what can we expect skeleton crew Going into the last few episodes? I can’t wait to find out.
Skeleton Crew’s Ranupa feels like one of the most developed worlds in years
The most interesting place introduced Star Wars: Skeleton Crew It’s Ranupa. While the planet’s main attraction is its decadent spas and hotels – which boast gorgeous and intricate designs – it doesn’t define the world. In just two episodes, we see a lot of other spaces and environments. This makes Ranupa one of the most developed areas Star Wars world of several years. The spa is surrounded by dark underground caverns, hidden pirate lairs, frozen wastelands, and even garbage dumps. It feels like a truly developed planet, rather than just being declared a “snow world” or a “desert world”.
Of course, this is not to say that other recent Star Wars The show doesn’t introduce any new worlds. They have – Andor For example, we’re introduced to Ardhani and the stunning Eye of Ardhani, but all we see is the grasslands and the Imperial Bunker. exist Ahsokawe’re even introduced to a planet in an entirely separate galaxy, but Peridea is made up of rocky terrain and stone fortresses.
skeleton crewThe fantastical treasure hunt premise gave the show’s creators and creative staff a chance to have fun with their designs rather than focus solely on the needs of the narrative. Andor Imperial bunkers were needed to loot, so they placed them on the prairie planet. Ahsoka Mountains large enough to carve statues were needed, so they turned Peridea into a rocky planet.
Lapna makes me want to know more about the environment of the world. Places like Peridea and Aldhani never really did as I already felt like I had seen everything worth seeing.
skeleton crewThe designs are equally purposeful, but they are definitely more whimsical, I personally think Star Wars Could use a little more whimsy these days. Why shouldn’t the scariest pirate bounty be hidden beneath a high-end spa? Why shouldn’t there be booby traps in caves and giant trash crabs in wastelands? Lapna makes me want to know more about the environment of the world. Places like Peridea and Aldhani never really did as I already felt like I had seen everything worth seeing.
hope, Star Wars Live-action filming for the galaxy will continue to expand as the galaxy enters the final stages of the New Republic era and returns to the big screen in the coming years. This franchise has a lot to offer, and environmental creativity shouldn’t be limited to Star Wars cartoon. Hope they learn from this Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Doing it now.
