Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the franchise’s newest Disney+ present, had its two-episode premiere earlier this week, and up to now, it is gone over effectively with most critics and followers. It is also a return to uncomplicated, swashbuckling Star Wars adventures stuffed with puppets and funky costumes and all that jazz which provides the galaxy extra color and texture.

Now, we have additionally acquired the complete in-universe tune (at the very least I hope it is used) that was featured in the primary trailer of the sequence: a Huttese cowl of Peter Schilling’s ‘Main Tom’ (lyrics included).

Thoughts you, Star Wars has by no means shied away from its weirder, extra alien aspect, as it is very a lot a key a part of its core DNA, however with latest Star Wars exhibits largely specializing in high-stakes storylines and extra critical characters, Skeleton Crew’s far looser tone is kind of a golden alternative to simply have a blast contained in the sandbox with out having to tie into bigger narratives. Consider the silliest Tatooine bits of The Phantom Menace, A New Hope, and Return of the Jedi changed into an entire present, however following Amblin youngsters who’re misplaced.

This kind of power was already totally embraced earlier this yr by Star Wars Outlaws, a sport that is at its finest when it is all about operating into shady people and absorbing the coolness vibes of cantinas and locales stuffed with on a regular basis individuals and criminals. Whereas the primary episode of the present takes some time to get going and focuses on a peaceable world, episode two has all of the pirates and slimy varieties you’d need after which some, and I hope the remainder of the season retains that up.

Anyway, you may watch/take heed to the complete tune, titled ‘Youngee Wim (Bunky Dunko)’ beneath:

As you may see, Lucasfilm and whoever labored on this tune have been totally dedicated to the bit right here, with the Huttese lyrics really telling a narrative which has nothing to do with ‘Main Tom’ past following the identical construction and utilizing the identical music. It is inventive, actually, and the kind of stuff that completely suits the ’80s vibes that sequence co-creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford have been going for. By the best way, it seems that “Bunky Dunko” means “residence” in Huttese.

“Bunky Dunko” and “Jee Jee At Attin Haspivaka” are additionally genuinely humorous phrases whether or not you are a Star Wars fan or not, the kind of actually goofy stuff that makes Star Wars really feel 100% like Star Wars. Just like the Disney-era output of flicks and exhibits or not, it is laborious to argue with a straight face that the franchise has overpassed what it is all the time been. We will focus on the standard of the writing and uneven manufacturing values all day lengthy, however the vibes and the setting proceed to be immaculate!
