this is not the first Star Wars Movie promotion turns into TV show; both boba fett books and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Of course, in this case, the longer format provides a great opportunity to get to know the characters. skeleton crew.
Why did Skull Crew become a Star Wars movie?
There is a trend here
There is a feeling that skeleton crewThe shift to television reflects the changing priorities of Lucasfilm and Disney. Sounds like this was originally intended as one of the Star Wars anthology project but abandoned after failure Solo: A Star Wars Story. This aligns with Disney’s need to create content for Disney+, which every studio needs to make a priority. Lucasfilm has adapted several of their anthology films into television series.
It must be noted that the response to these initiatives has been mixed. boba fett books It’s a bit disappointing that Temuera Morrison’s Boba Fett has been put on hold after it misfired so badly. Obi-Wan Kenobi Although it still felt like a real event thanks to the return of Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor, it was heavily criticized. In fact, it’s quite difficult to adapt a movie into a TV series (and vice versa, because moana 2 just shown). Especially the tempo is very different.
What we thought of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
it still has a lot of potential
Fortunately, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Sounds like the kind of project that really should be a TV show first. It’s clearly character-focused, and everything we’ve seen so far suggests the cast is very strong. The interactions between Jude Law’s Jod Na Nawood and the kids look great, and the extra length should give plenty of time for character work. In this case, the transition from film to TV series is expected to work well.
