Between them, Indiana JonesWillow herself, whose fifth film is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, and whose first season ended this week on Disney Plus. with much less nostalgia than we expected.
The film was wrapped in a package. Tolkien’s novel and a flavor that reminds us of Star Wars and the least exploited franchise from the Lucas factory. Now making a television series has allowed the writers to expand this fictional world where we only have what we see in the movie. two hour movie. Novels written are not counted because they go unnoticed by the general public. The series is a full-fledged sequel that continues the story we saw in theaters at the time. Willow is back, but we won’t be able to find her shadow in the new drama.Tolkien inspiration. I almost dare, fictional universe in addition to tributes fairy tales a lifetime seems to have come off its pages Robert E Howard writing your adventures Conan the Barbarian. Less violently, yes. Because Willow comes with a job the whole family will enjoy. we are back land of magic and judging by the close of this first season, it seems that those in charge intend to make more seasons. The series comes with the intention of entering new paths and attracting new generations to the epic.
They say that the saga of Willow was born because of his intention. George Lucas was to adapt the hobbit from Tolkien. Unable to own the rights, he decided to recycle his idea with a movie with characters he created himself. Other sources say that the story conceived by Lucas is about dwarves, not hobbits. Wizard of oz. One or the other, Lucas finally put the movie in his good friend’s hands. Ron Howard and over time it became one of the cult titles of the eighties. Many saw it as a cross between the Tolkien and Star Wars universes. mammoth work peter jackson It was still far away and was seen as a utopia where we could see more adventures in a galaxy far, far away. At that time we only had one galactic trilogy, the trilogy in capital letters; and the only movie reference for The Lord of the Rings was the unfinished animated movie by Ralph Bakshi and all films in the genre have been associated with box office failures.
In Willow, we can find many characters that are very similar to the iconic heroes of Star Wars. Starting with the actor Willow, Warwick Davisemerging Return of the Jedi under someone’s skin thanks. as Luke Skywalker (sign bearer), Willow is forced to get in the way of the heroine when she is tasked with protecting Princess Elora Danan from the evil witch Bavmorda. As the adventure turns Luke into a Jedi, Willow will eventually become a powerful wizard. They are not the only similarities. We have a villain with a skull-shaped helmet that reminds us a lot of Darth Vader; and Madmartigan, a brazen, brazen hero who might be related to Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and in the movie he starred in Val Kilmer. Madmartigan was to meet the princess he incarnated. johanne whalley and who would eventually marry in real life.
In this spin on Willow, I keep finding nods to Star Wars. One of them is that the characters of the already classic movie are letters of introduction of a new genre to others. Just like in the third trilogy. At least, Willow has been given a far more relevant and heroic role in this spin than Luke Skywalker had. At least thanks to the CGI in The Mandalorian, the Jedi knight was able to get a more dignified return. Instead, Val Kilmer is one of the series’ biggest shortcomings. But what cannot be cannot be, and that is impossible. Health issues made it impossible for him to even have a small cameo, which was made possible by the return of another movie that was entirely from the eighties, like its sequel. super weapon. Here we have Johanne Walley, who, despite having a secondary role, helps us preserve the essence of the film. Another curiosity is who the scriptwriter of the series is. Jonathan Kasdanwho also wrote the solo movie of Han Solo Released in 2018 and directed by Ron Howard. Exactly, the director of the first Willow.
But the real heroes are his children with MadMartigan. At least here for our twin couple (children of Han Solo and Leia from the novels), and for them, whom we didn’t see in the sequel to Star Wars. dark side. But first of all, we got Elora Danan back. The main character in the plot of the movie, but who can’t interfere with the plot at all because he’s a baby that everyone is chasing after. It was like the Ring of Power for the plot sauron He is now older and can fulfill that ancient prophecy about him. Of course, his identity is one of the first surprises that we will not tell because he did his best to surprise the audience in the last corner of the pilot episode and there were spoilers. The series brings together a whole generation of new characters with this inclusiveness that seems to offend some people. Usual shout to include characters LGBTI It seemed less noisy in the plot than at other times, could it be because the fandom is smaller?
