STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW SERIES REVIEW
The One Of Us Jedi Counsel of Melina, Marco, and T.C. gather to discuss the newest entry into the Star Wars franchise and are gleefully pleased to see that building an entire series around the Amblin Entertainment model that gave us The Goonies, E.T., and the entire kids on (speeder) bikes subgenre can in fact inject some new and wonderful life into the galaxy far, far away. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew follows Wim, Fern, Neel, and KB: four kids from the hidden planet of At Attin who, after discovering an abandoned spaceship, find themselves lost in the vast and perilous galaxy. Guided by the enigmatic (and quite possibly fallen Jedi) Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law), they encounter the most piratey of pirates in the stars, strange aliens, and dangerous places in their quest to return home. The series, set in the same post-Empire era as The Mandalorian, is a coming-of-age adventure that will satisfy fans of the Orig Trig, newcomers to the franchise, and perhaps even cynical long-time fans just hate watching every offering. Also, if you love Treasure Planet, this one’s for you.

Melina Eames (Screener Squad)
Melina first discovered that she carried the nerd gene at the tender age of four following her exposure to a little film called A New Hope. In the twenty-some years that followed, Melina continued to grow into her geek identity through the discovery of Batman, Mst3k, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and The Mandalorian. But perhaps her most significant discovery came at the age of fourteen when a night of YouTube mining led her to the review site of Spill.com. Melina became a devoted follower whose fandom did not end with the site’s demise. By then, it had worked its dark magic and left her with a love and appreciation for film criticism that she has yet to shrug.
Marco Noyola (Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Audio Editor)
By day, Marco is a mild-mannered office worker, but by night he is a mild-mannered movie watcher. He does other mild-mannered stuff too.
