Skeleton Crew episode 8 solidifies the show as one of Star Wars' best, wrapping up the endearing story with ease. Since the show began, I have made it clear how easy the show is to enjoy. Not only is Skeleton Crew's cast of characters fleshed out, but the show understands that it does not need to be galaxy-altering to be a worthy addition to Star Wars canon. As of the Skeleton Crew episode 8's ending, this reality is more prevalent than ever thanks to the excellent conclusion of a mostly self-contained story.

Skeleton Crew follows four ordinary children who become lost in the expansive Star Wars galaxy. As they navigate unfamiliar worlds and the challenges they present, the group endeavors to find their way back to their home planet, undertaking a journey across the iconic Star Wars universe.

While her recent acclaimed work on The Penguin has helped make her a big name, Cristin Milioti's best movies and TV shows show that she has been putting together a more than impressive career for herself over the years. The American actor got her start in the theater, earning a Tony nomination for her performance in Once. However, when she landed a recurring role on The Sopranos in 2006, she really kickstarted her on-screen career, which led to bigger roles and more acclaim.

Milioti has appeared in some notable movies, including working with Martin Scorsese on one of his most popular movies. However, she has really found success on television, showing incredible versatility on some big shows. She has stolen scenes on popular sitcoms, played the hero in some thrilling sci-fi series, and created one of the most complex villains in the DC universe. With her recent acclaim, it is...

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episode 7, “We’re Gonna Be In So Much Trouble,” ended with quite the cliffhanger.

The kid gloves are off as Jod Na Nawood has let the full pirate out. Capturing the children, he figures out that the Onyx Cinder is the key to getting through the Barrier around At Attin. Sneaking into the ship and taking over after decapitating Sm-33, he pretends to be a Republic Emissary upon landing on the planet. The group is taken underground, where they see the Old Republic Mint still active, and Jod finds over 1,000 vaults full of credits. He has his treasure. Wim, Fern, Neel, and Kb’s parents follow them down, and the kids are finally reunited with their loved ones. However, it’s short-lived as Jod menacingly approaches the families, igniting his lightsaber. What will happen to our heroes?

We have to watch to the season finale to find out.

Like many Star Trek: Deep Space Nine characters, Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) underwent a complex character evolution throughout DS9's seven seasons. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's First Officer was originally supposed to be Star Trek: The Next Generation's Ensign Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes), but when Forbes declined to return as Ensign Ro, DS9 created Major Kira instead. Unlike Ro Laren's Starfleet-adjacent point of view in Tng, Kira's backstory in the Bajoran Resistance placed her closer to the front lines of the conflict between the Bajorans and their Cardassian oppressors.

Born in 2343 in Bajor's Dahkur Province, Kira Nerys grew up in a refugee camp with her parents, Kira Taban and Meru; and her brothers, Reon and Pohl. When Nerys was three years old, her mother was taken to be a comfort woman for the camp's Cardassian overseers, and Meru became Gul Dukat's (Marc Alaimo) mistress. Dukat ensured that Kira's family was safe,...

Skeleton Crew episode 7 barrels toward the ending with plenty of answers, the threat of lightsabers, and Jude Law having a blast. Skeleton Crew season 2 may be possible after the show's ending, but episode 7 furthered the feeling of finality as the last episode beckons. Overall, I've had a blast with this show. From Skeleton Crew's many Easter eggs to its compelling characters and fun, easygoing, but no less interesting story, the show has been a delight.

This article contains spoilers for "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" episode 7, "We're Gonna Be In So Much Trouble."

"Skeleton Crew" is a huge breath of fresh air for the "Star Wars" franchise. The series is as far removed from "Andor" as you can get, showing the versatility of the galaxy far, far away to support all kinds of tones and stories. Though "Skeleton Crew" is full of terrifying moments and dark imagery, it is very much a coming-of-age adventure for audiences of all ages -- not to mention a series that looks at a vast galaxy full of Jedi, X-Wings, and pirates with a sense of wonder that's been missing from the franchise since Luke Skywalker first stared at the binary sunset of Tatooine in "A New Hope."

One aspect where "Skeleton Crew" stands out compared to most "Star Wars" projects in recent years is how many non-human creatures are in the show.

This article contains spoilers for "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" episode 7, "We're Gonna Be In So Much Trouble."

The penultimate episode of "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" season 1, "We're Gonna Be In So Much Trouble," brings the action back to the planet of At Attin, with all of the show's storylines and characters converging on the mysterious world of myth. As things get underway, the parents of the imperiled kids, Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), and Kb (Kyriana Kritter), plot to send them a message, letting them know how to get past the lethal barrier that stands between them and their return home. Meanwhile, Captain Brutus (Fred Tatasciore), Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law), and the rest of the pirates fight over the kids and their ship, the Onyx Cinder, when they realize it might hold the key to passing through the barrier. 

Eventually, Jod comes out on top,...

This article contains spoilers for "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" episode 7, "We're Gonna Be In So Much Trouble."

"Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" is a love letter to its franchise, and the Disney+ series is loaded with references to previous stories set in a galaxy far, far away. From dropping sneaky "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" Easter eggs to even bringing back classic "Star Wars" swear words, creators Christopher Ford and Jon Watts are clearly fond of the property's lore and history. This trend continues in episode 7, "We're Gonna Be In So Much Trouble," which contains a subtle nod to some pirates from the Expanded Universe aka Star Wars Legends.

In the episode, Brutus (Fred Tatasciore) and Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law) set out to find At Attin so they can pillage the hidden planet of its treasure. They eventually stumble upon a planet that Brutus' crew thinks is their destination and...

This article contains spoilers for "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" episode 7, "We're Gonna Be in So Much Trouble."

"Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" episode 7 is full of big space pirate reveals. Not only does Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law) -- or whatever his real name is -- fully embrace his role as the show's true villain, but he kills Brutus in an almost casual fashion when the scowling Shistavanen is caught in the Onyx Cinder's claw. Even Sm-33 (voiced by Nick Frost) shows that he can override his hitherto strict adherence to the pirate code by siding with the kids when push comes to shove, although he does get decapitated for his troubles.  

Among all these big twists, the episode also stealthily teases another, potentially even more important pirate-themed revelation -- namely, the true identity of famous pirate captain Tak Rennod, who just might turn out to be none other than...

Star Trek: Lower Decks made T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) Star Trek's newest Dax, but it's unclear what this means for either character's future or if audiences will ever see it. In its fifth and final season on Paramount+, Star Trek: Lower Decks' USS Cerritos investigated a series of quantum fissures that had mysteriously opened up throughout the galaxy. The penultimate episode, "Fissure Quest," revealed that Section 31 had assigned Captain William Boimler (Jack Quaid) and a Star Trek legacy character crew of "interdimensional castaways" to discover the cause of these unstable connections to the multiverse.

Captain Boimler's ragtag crew was made up of several familiar faces from across Star Trek's vast timeline, including T'Pol and Curzon Dax (Fred Tatasciore), the Trill host for the Dax symbiont before Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Jadzia (Terry Farrell). Although Curzon died before the events of DS9, he nevertheless had a presence on the show,...

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episode 6, “Zero Friends Again,” was an emotional entry where we finally got to spend time with Kb, the story fleshing out why she wears her visor.

“Zero Friends Again” ended with everyone heading towards At Attin. Jod Na Nawood has been captured by Captain Brutus and his pirates, convincing them that the last mint of the Old Republic is real and he knows how to get there. Wim, Fern, Kb, and Neel have control of the Onyx Cinder, which they freed from a junkyard. Now that the ship has an all-new, sleeker form and Kb has the coordinates back to At Attin, they’re on their final leg home. How will the people of their world react to their return, especially since the mysterious Supervisor didn’t want to find the kids in the first place? And how will the children’s parents, like Wendle and Fara,...

This article contains spoilers for "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" episode 6, "Zero Friends Again."

The last day of 2024 brought us the sixth episode of "Skeleton Crew," the "Star Wars" series following a group of kids who are lost in the galaxy and trying to get home. Along the way, they meet Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law), a scheming pirate with a dozen different names and identities who is wanted by bounty hunters, his old crew, the New Republic, and many others. In the last episode, he betrayed the kids, took control of their droid, Sm-33 (Nick Frost), and made off to steal their ship, the fabled Onyx Cinder. As this new episode, "Zero Friends Again" opens, the kids escape Jod's treacherous clutches and he's free to grab all the treasure he can carry and head on his merry way. As such, the kids are forced to spend this episode trying to...

The following contains mild spoilers for the latest episode of "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew."

"Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" continues traditions that began in the animated "Clone Wars" series, most notably in its depiction of war-ravaged planets that boast French-inspired sensibilities. Creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford's Disney+ show is a love letter to the "Star Wars" franchise as a whole, but episode 6, "Zero Friends Again," features another callback to the aforementioned cartoon that's bound to please eagle-eyed fans of the property.

The moment in question occurs when Jude Law's "Skeleton Crew" character, Jod Na Nawood, gets captured by Brutus (Fred Tatasciore) and his crew of financially-starving pirates. The rogues take their prisoner to a space station with a long central shaft to execute him, but Jod manages to wiggle his way out of it thanks to his gift of gab. 

While all of the pirate court drama overshadows the location,...

Star Trek: Lower Decks' series finale suggests that the Terran Empire of Star Trek's Mirror Universe could defeat the Prime Universe Starfleet. In its fifth and final season on Paramount+, Star Trek: Lower Decks takes on the multiverse and puts the fate of the Prime Universe in the hands of the USS Cerritos. After spending Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 investigating mysterious quantum fissures, Captain Carol Freeman (Dawnn Lewis) and her crew must come together to stabilize a massive wormhole (surrounded by a Schrödinger possibility field) that threatens to destroy the universe.

Introduced in the iconic Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "Mirror, Mirror," Star Trek's Mirror Universe presents a world in sharp contrast to Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets. In the Mirror Universe, the brutal Terran Empire has conquered much of the Alpha Quadrant with its xenophobic and violent society. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine...

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episode 5, “You Have A Lot To Learn About Pirates,” was the turning point going into the back half of the season, as many episode fives are in these eight-episode series.

As their parents seek a way to contact their children on the planet of At Attin, our four protagonists, Wim, Fern, Kb, and Neel, have some issues of their own. Their Force using scoundrel of the group, Jod Na Nawood, shows his true colors once he has the path to At Attin. Knowing it’s the last mint of the Old Republic, he turns on the kids by challenging Fern for her role as captain. She easily loses to the grown up, which is why their First Mate droid Sm-33 sides with Jod. However, thanks to his quick thinking after seeing a trap earlier in the episode, Wim triggers the floor to drop, temporarily getting the kids to safety…...

Warning: Spoilers For Star Trek: Lower Decks' Season 5 Finale - "The New Next Generation"

Star Trek: Lower Decks' series finale creates a multiverse problem in Star Trek canon. Lower Decks came to a close with its fifth season, which sent the USS Cerritos on a mission to investigate quantum fissures to infinite Star Trek timelines. In Star Trek: Lower Decks' series ender, Starfleet Command informed the Cerritos that they were the only ship close enough to stabilize the massive wormhole before it destroyed the universe. Captain Carol Freeman (Dawnn Lewis) and her crew then beautifully came together to save the day, resulting in the creation of a stable and permanently open portal to various quantum realities.

Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, episode 9, "Fissure Quest," introduced the starship Anaximander and its crew of Star Trek legacy characters commanded by Captain William Boimler (Jack Quaid). Consisting of T'Pol (Jolene Blalock), Curzon Dax...

In its fifth and final season on Paramount+, Star Trek: Lower Decks took on the multiverse, giving Star Trek the opportunity to do a show like Marvel's What If...?. As Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 came to a close, Captain Carol Freeman (Dawnn Lewis) and the crew of the USS Cerritos saved Star Trek's entire Prime Universe by stabilizing a massive wormhole to various quantum realities. Starfleet then moved Starbase 80 to the wormhole's entrance and put Captain Freeman in charge of the missions sent to investigate these realities.

While Star Trek has no plans for any Lower Decks spin-offs, the creation of a portal to the multiverse gives the franchise the opportunity to do its own version of Marvel's What If...?. With nearly 60 years of history, Star Trek has hundreds of characters and storylines to explore. Based on the appearance of Star Trek legacy characters like T'Pol (Jolene Blalock...

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episode 4, “Can't Say I Remember No At Attin,” was a crazy episode revealing one of the other Jewels of the Republic: The war-torn world of At Achrann.

This planet is almost identical to theirs, only its been decimated by a generational war. Neel stepped up, befriending a young rebel named Hayna and teaching her a new way of peace. Later, the heroes entered this world’s version of the Supervisor’s tower, discovering the coordinates to the other worlds… except for At Attin. It’s revealed that their first mate droid Sm-33 had destroyed them on order of his previous captain. As Sm-33 remembers, he also has orders to destroy anyone who knows this information. He immediately turns on the kids. Neel stands up to the droid, distracting him long enough for Jod Na Nawood to turn off Sm-33. The episode ends with Neel comedically fainting.

In a sea of science fiction series that take themselves far too seriously, “Star Trek Lower Decks” has been a sweet and funny balm, a loving parody of the iconic speculative fiction universe that celebrates and pisses on its history in equal measure. Like all good sitcoms, however, “Lower Decks” is coming to an end, and the finale promises to be…maybe, possibly, moderately serious?

The animated series will premiere the finale to its fifth and final season Thursday, December 19, on Paramount+. The episode, titled “The New Next Generation” in reference to the beloved ’80s-’90s “Star Trek” series starring Patrick Stewart, will have an extended running time, and bring back a few characters from the show’s past. Among them are Klingon brothers, Malor (voiced by Sam Witwer) and Ma’ah (Jon Curry), first seen in a previous Season 5 episode. In an exclusive clip shared with IndieWire, the duo...

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episode 3, “Very Interesting, As An Astrogration Problem,” unraveled more of the mysteries around the planet of At Attin.

The lost children, Wim, Neel, Fern, and Kb, have made a tentative deal with the Force sensitive scoundrel, Jod Na Nawood, to help them get home. Thankfully, they have some allies along the way, such as the first mate of the Onyx Cinder, Sm-33, who is loyal to Fern as his new captain. They also meet Kh’ymm, an owl lady who has her own rough past with Jod, who she knows as “Crimson Jack.” The group was able to narrow down the location of At Attin. Suddenly, because Kh’ymm called ahead of time, the New Republic showed up to try to rescue the children from Jod. However, they don’t know that the New Republic are the good guys, and they flee. Will the kids get home to their parents?...

Star Trek: Lower Deck's final season has reached its conclusion. Nine episodes have come and gone and the last episode is set to air in a matter of days. Before they close things out, however, the crew behind the show took one last leap into the unknown. The penultimate episode, entitled "Fissure Quest" saw a collection of Star Trek all-stars from around the canon, coming together to help stop a growing threat.

The episode brought back a handful of major names, and while they all played familiar roles, no one returned as their original character. Each actor or actress who came back played a different universe's version of their character.

Firstly, Jolene Blalock was back, once again playing T'Pol. Her first version of T'Pol was first seen in Star Trek: Enterprise over 20 years ago. This T'Pol however isn't the same version. This version that we see has been married to...

Warning: Spoilers for Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5, Episode 9 - "Fissure Quest"

Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 just topped its previous crossover with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. In Strange New Worlds season 2, episode 7, "Those Old Scientists," Ensigns Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid) and Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome) made the jump from animation to live-action. After encountering a portal, Boimler and Mariner find themselves in the 23rd century USS Enterprise of Captain Christoper Pike (Anson Mount). What follows is a hilarious series of interactions as Boimler tries (and fails) to contain his excitement about meeting his heroes.

In its final season on Paramount+, Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 finds the USS Cerritos investigating a series of quantum fissures that have opened up across the galaxy. Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, episode 9, "Fissure Quest," reveals that Section 31 has assigned Captain William Boimler and a crew of "interdimensional castaways" to investigate these rifts in spacetime.

The latest Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew, has pulled from many inspirations for its creation. From Amblin films to LucasArts video games like the Monkey Island franchise, there is no shortage of Easter eggs within the series. One in particular in episode two paid homage to a beloved ride at Disney Parks.

Shared on the official Star Wars Twitter account, Sound Designer David W. Collins discusses the homage caught by a fan online. In episode two, “Way, Way Out Past the Barrier,” the four child protagonists are captured by pirates, played by Fred Tatasciore and Jaleel White, and thrown into the brig. As the keys to the cell are hung up, a familiar whistling can be heard in the distance for anyone familiar with the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney Parks.

“That is a really great catch,” Collins confirms. “I am guilty of whistling on microphone. We were...

The first two episodes of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew make one thing very clear: The galaxy is no place for kids.

We receive this message in numerous ways. There's the Career Assessment Test all children on the planet of At Attin must take (essentially the Star Wars version of the Sat). There are the "No Speeder Bikes" signs on the road, even though Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) and Kb (Kyriana Kratter) make it obvious that Speeder Bikes are awesome. There's Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers) asking his dad for a bedtime story and hearing, "Aren't you getting a little bit old for that?"

And in case we've missed the show's subtler messaging, Melna (Paloma Garcia-Lee), the doorkeeper of a space brothel on the pirate haven of Borgo, spells it out. When Melna notices a group of children waltzing into pirate society in Episode 2, she pulls Fern and Kb aside and says, "It's not safe here for children.

Feature films have not been kind to the Looney Tunes. There was a time when the wacky adventures of Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny and their animated pals were the best and funniest shorts on the silver screen, an era that lasted decades. But most of their longer movies were repackaged classic skits, thinly strung together by new bookend material based on whatever movie or TV show was hot at the time, like “Fantasy Island” or “Ghostbusters.” Then of course there were the “Space Jam” films, two of the most creatively bankrupt and shamelessly tacky brand exploitations in the history of [checks notes] everything.

Until now the only great “Looney Tunes” feature was the one that completely flopped, Joe Dante’s inspired and hilarious “Back in Action,” which smartly skewered the callow capitalism that made the “Space Jam” movies a cinematic crime. The new film, “The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie,...

25 years later, Star Trek: Lower Decks finally makes a fan-favorite couple from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine canon. Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, episode 9, "Fissure Quest", follows up with Captain William Boimler (Jack Quaid), the transporter duplicate of Lieutenant Brad Boimler who was assigned to Starfleet's Section 31 after faking his death. Captain Boimler's crew is assembled from alternate reality versions of Star Trek legacy characters from across Star Trek's multiverse of timelines, including Star Trek: Enterprise's T'Pol (Jolene Blalock), a pre-Jadzia Curzon Dax (Fred Tatasciore), and a bevy of Ensigns Harry Kim (Garrett Wang).

The USS Anaximander's medical officers are based on potential realities from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Warning: Spoilers for Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5, Episode 9 - "Fissure Quest"

Star Trek: Lower Decks' penultimate episode brought back six Star Trek legacy characters, but two were killed off at the end. In the biggest Star Trek crossover yet, Star Trek: Lower Decks pulled alternate reality characters from different Star Trek series to become the dream team crew of Section 31's Defiant Class starship Anaximander led by Captain William Boimler (Jack Quaid). The Anaximander's mission was to find the culprit opening fissures in different quantum realities, which are threatening every Star Trek timeline.

Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, episode 9's epic crossover assembles T'Pol (Jolene) from Star Trek: Enterprise, an Emergency Medical Hologram based on Dr. Julian Bashir (Alexander Siddig) and his lover, Dr. Elim Garak (Andrew Robinson), and Curzon Dax (Fred Tatasciore), all from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Captain Lily Sloane (Alfre Woodward) from Star Trek: First Contact.

19 years after Star Trek: Enterprise ended, Jolene Blalock is back as T'Pol in Star Trek: Lower Decks, and she is perfect. In its final season on Paramount+, Star Trek: Lower Decks set the USS Cerritos on a mission to close rifts leading to alternate Star Trek timelines. However, Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, episode 9 centers on a different starship, the Defiant Class Anaximander led by Captain William Boimler (Jack Quaid), which Section 31 charged with a mission to stop a rogue vessel that's threatening Star Trek's multiverse.

Jolene Blalock portrayed Subcommander T'Pol in all four seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise. Clad in skintight catsuits, Blalock cut a striking figure as T'Pol, who Enterprise retconned as the first Vulcan Science Officer on a Starfleet vessel. T'Pol's cool logic and experience were an invaluable contrast to the emotional Captain Jonathan Archer...

Star Trek: Lower Decks' final season on Paramount+ has centered on the USS Cerritos closing fissures in space that lead to alternate Star Trek timelines. However, another starship is assigned to repairing the multiverse, and it's crewed by a host of alternate reality Star Trek legends.

Led by Captain William Boimler (Jack Quaid), the transporter clone of Lt.

Variety is reporting that a Clayface movie is officially moving forward at DC Studios, with Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep; The Fall of the House of Usher; Midnight Mass) attached to write the screenplay. 

Flanagan and Trevor Macy, his partner at Intrepid Pictures, pitched the potential film to James Gunn and Peter Safran over a year ago, and it looks like the idea won over the new DC bosses as they've issued a formal greenlight.

Plot details remain under wraps, but what we do know is that Clayface won't be a villain in the feature, which makes sense considering that back in 2021, Flanagan, when asked which DC movie he'd like to make, said, "Well I've wanted to do a Superman movie since I was a kid, but I would also be really keen to do a standalone Clayface movie as a horror/thriller/tragedy."

Filming is tentatively scheduled to begin early next year,...

There are lots of interesting aliens in "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew." In fact, some of them are so interesting that you may not even realize the full extent of their impact until the end credits. One such figure is Benjar Pranic, a former member of Jod Na Nawood's (Jude Law) crew. Pranic casually walks in when Jod attempts to retrieve Sm-33 (voiced by Nick Frost) at the behest of Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Kb (Kyriana Kratter), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), and Neel (Robert Timothy Smith). Fully knowing that Jod should be imprisoned in the brig, the alien sets up a friendly conversation ... which soon cuts into the very unfriendly revelation that Jod now has Brutus' (Fred Tatasciore) entire crew chasing him. Turns out that retired or not, you really can't trust a pirate.

Starring Jude Law, the series, which comes from Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts, aspires to be a throwback to the kind of movies Amblin Entertainment put out in the eighties. It’s led by a young cast of kids, with it very much in the mould of The Goonies, albeit in space. So far, it’s collected far better reviews from both critics and fans than many other, more divisive Star Wars projects have in recent years (read our review here).

Recently, we were invited to take part in the Skeleton Crew press day in NYC, and our interviewer, Eric Walkuski was able to speak to two of the stars, Kyriana Kratter & Robert Timothy Smith. Kyriana Kratter plays Kb, who sports...

Warning: Spoilers for Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5, Episode 8 - "Upper Decks"

25 years later, Star Trek: Lower Decks finally shows the horrific reality of one of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's biggest tragedies. When Star Trek: Deep Space Nine begins, Bajor has finally won its independence after the 50-year-long Cardassian Occupation of Bajor forced the formerly peaceful Bajorans to take up arms as resistance fighters. Starfleet sends Commander Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) to oversee Bajor's bid to join the United Federation of Planets. Sisko's First Officer is Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor), a notable member of the Shakaar Resistance cell turned DS9's liaison to the Bajoran provisional government.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is connected to this dark chapter of the Star Trek timeline via the USS Cerritos' Bajoran Chief of Security, Lieutenant Shaxs (Fred Tatasciore), who was a Resistance fighter before joining Starfleet. The Cerritos' visit to...

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew kicked off with a 2-episode premiere.

The adventure opens with episode 1, “This Could Be a Real Adventure,” following four kids, Wim, Neel, Fern, and Kb, as they accidentally take off in a spaceship, which flies them far away from their home of At Attin. Episode 2, “Way, Wat Out Past The Barrier,” ends with the young protagonists locked in a pirate brig where they meet a Force user named Jod Na Nawood, who offers to help them escape.

The kids discover their planet is a legend, supposedly a lost world full of gold. Pirates take an interest in the kids and want to find their world. Meanwhile, Wim’s father, Wendle, witnessed the kids being taken away in the starship. He’s taken into custody by the creepy security droids of At Attin as they cite that no one is permitted to come or go from the planet.

The aims of the animated anthology Secret Level, whose 15 shorts are based on video and tabletop games, are clear enough: As production company Blur Studio puts it on their website, “Secret Level is our love letter to gaming.” But despite the tangible earnestness of that claim, the series fails to shake off the cynicism of its commercial function and blinkered politics. Beneath flashes of beauty and fits of inspiration lies an elaborate branding exercise.

Secret Level features a handful of shorts that conjure impressive moods. The bleak industrial landscapes in “Armored Core: Asset Management” all but subsume the episode’s protagonist (Keanu Reeves)—and the formidable mech he pilots—conveying the extent of his alienation and the stakes of his mission; the economical “Warhammer 40,000: And They Shall Know No Fear” spares us unnecessary dialogue, setting its space marines loose with sweltering kineticism; and the martial arts revenge tale of...

Warning: Set phasers to spoilers, because this article discusses plot details from the latest episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks."

Nearly five full seasons into "Lower Decks" and Trekkies might have noticed that some of its most integral characters have remained a bit of an enigma so far. No, we're not talking about our usual crew, all of whom have transformed from some of the franchise's biggest upstarts when the animated series first debuted to fan-favorite additions to the canon. We're not even referring to the simmering rivalry between the delta shift and beta shift on the USS Cerritos, which was first introduced way back in the season 1 episode "Terminal Provocations." No, this team has been hiding in plain sight all along, going about their duty on a daily basis while rarely ever receiving the credit they deserve. And, in an episode that couldn't possibly be more fitting for the show's final season,...

Warning: Spoilers for Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5, Episode 8 - "Upper Decks"Star Trek: Lower Decks just cleverly reversed the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode that inspired it. As Star Trek: Lower Decks' fifth and final season on Paramount+ nears the finish line, the crew of the USS Cerritos takes a break from its current mission of closing fissures in space that lead to alternate Star Trek timelines. Star Trek: Lower Decks' episodic format allows season 5, episode 8, "Upper Decks" to be a one-off that flips Star Trek: The Next Generation season 7's "Lower Decks."

The first half-hour animated Star Trek comedy series, Star Trek: Lower Decks is also the heir to Star Trek: The Next Generation's popular 24th century era. Star Trek: Lower Decks picks up a year after Star Trek: Nemesis ends, and the USS Cerritos voyages in the wake of the events of Tng, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,...

This article contains spoilers for the first two episodes of "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew."

Back in the day, "Star Wars" used to deal with the fear of the unknown quite a bit. "Episode IV -- A New Hope" alone has plenty of scary moments: Darth Vader (David Prowse, with James Earl Jones providing the voice) is a creepy, unstoppable monster. The Empire is a faceless force of oppression. Animalistic, screeching Tusken Raiders stalk the deserts of Tatooine and nearly end young Luke Skywalker's (Mark Hamill) journey before it even begins. Homesteads and planets are destroyed, countless people die, heroes are trapped in a trash compactor with a monster ... you name it. The other two entries in the original trilogy also have their share of hair-raising moments, from Han Solo's (Harrison Ford) horrifying carbonite prison to the nightmarish fate that befalls anyone cast in the Sarlacc pit.

But all...

Spoilers ahead for "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" season 1, episode 2.

"Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" episode 1 begins with an unfortunate space pirate raid, but soon moves away from the action. The majority of the episode is spent introducing the central quartet of youngsters and the secluded world they live in, only sending them into hyperspace at the very end. 

Episode 2, on the other hand, fills the kids' and the viewers' eyes and ears with the wonders and horrors of the galaxy. it focuses on Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), Kb (Kyriana Kratter), and Neel (Robert Timothy Smith) adjusting to their new situation, meeting new characters, and exploring new places. From the mysterious Onyx Cinder spaceship and its irritable droid first mate Sm-33 (voiced by Nick Frost) to the sordid space station they all end up on, the main characters get to experience new corners of the "Star Wars" galaxy along with the viewer.

Jon Watts and Christopher Ford are reuniting for a nostalgic journey through a galaxy far, far away in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. While the latter made his writing debut with the sci-fi dramedy Robot & Frank, Watts and Ford enjoyed their rise to success by teaming with each other for the 2014 horror movie Clown, the crime thriller Cop Car and the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man: Homecoming. As Watts became busy with the webslinging trilogy, Ford went on to write and produce the well-received coming-of-age thriller The Clovehitch Killer and rewrite the adaptation of Chaos Walking.

With Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the duo are working in tandem as the creators and showrunners for the latest installment of the Lucasfilm franchise. The Disney+ show focuses on a group of children from a suburban Republic planet who, after discovering a derelict spaceship, venture off and become stranded in the galaxy far from home.

When the ship takes off with them inside, they must traverse a dangerous galaxy to get back home.

The kids catch the eye of pirates including captain Brutus (Fred Tatasciore), Gunter (Jaleel White), and The Mandalorian’s Vane (Marti Matulis) who hunt them. Things aren’t peaceful back on their world either as Fern’s mom Fara (Kerry Condon) is aware that something is wrong,...
