In the depths of a galaxy far, far away, disturbing events are brewing. Several insiders sound the alarm: Star Wars: Skeleton Crew has hit some serious roadblocks in its production. It appears the project hasn’t generated the enthusiasm expected within Lucasfilm, which has in turn caused a wave of unrest among the studio’s executives.
Blogger John Rocha, known under the nickname TheRochaSays, claims that the series was met with a cool reception at Lucasfilm. This information was picked up and developed by the editors of the portals BespinBulletin and MakingStarWars. According to them, the clouds over the project began to thicken last year. In this regard, insiders urge fans to moderate their ardor and not place excessive hopes on the series.
It is worth recalling that some very famous people are at the helm of the “Foundation Team”. The director’s chair was taken by Jon Watts, who became famous for his work on the last trilogy about Spider-Man. The script came from the pen of Christopher Ford, who had a hand in the creation of “Spider-Man: Homecoming”. In addition, one of the key roles in the series was played by Jude Law.
The plot of “Foundation Team” is woven around four young heroes. After a sensational discovery, they find themselves far from home and try to find their way back to their home planet. The first season, consisting of eight episodes, is scheduled to be released in late 2024.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that at the same time, another project in the Star Wars universe is fighting for its existence in a very unusual way. We are talking about the series Star Wars: Acolyte, whose fate is in question due to the disappointing ratings of the first season.
The first season of Acolyte was a fiasco with viewers and critics, receiving disappointingly low ratings. This cold reception put the future of the project in jeopardy. However, the showrunner of the series Leslye Headland is not going to give up without a fight and has launched a campaign of sorts to save her brainchild.
Headland appealed to the army of fans with a desperate plea for help. The gist of her appeal is simple but ambitious: she implores viewers to start heated discussions about the series online, leave positive reviews, and ignore the low ratings on IMDb. In this way, Hadland hopes to create a positive information background around Acolyte and convince the studio management to give the project a second chance.
