‘Skeleton Crew’ turns to George Lucas for that old ‘Star Wars’ magic The latest “Star Wars” project, called “Skeleton Crew” and starring Jude Law, is a lot like “The Goonies.” But it needed George Lucas’s style to tell its story.

NEW by me — ‘Skeleton Crew’ turns to George Lucas for that old ‘Star Wars’ magic

The Disney Plus series, starring Jude Law, brings ‘Star Wars’ to the suburbs but still relies on 1977-style filmmaking and storytelling.

Superheroes Will Never Again Be As Good as the Arrowverse Quick housekeeping before we get started… first, I have a few bound galleys of my new novel for adults, Lessons in Magic and Disaster, which comes out August...

Absolutely loved this piece from @charliejane.bsky.social about the magic of the Arrowverse (not Darhk/Constantine magic). And shout out to Legends of Tomorrow, one of the best shows in the past 10 years.

I watched all of #CreatureCommandos so here's my review -- it rocks! It's fun, zany, dirty, bloody. Just imagine Gunn at peak of powers. Heartwarming, enriching, warm. One or two characters needed more screen time. Story was a little slow at points. Still, it'll make you laugh, cry, melt and dance!
