In an episode of ABC’s “The Goldbergs,” youngest son Adam suffers a grievous lapse in judgment. It’s Mother’s Day, but rather than spend time with his devoted, if meddling mother, he wants to see “,” the potentially life-changing new George Lucas project. When the conflict comes to a head, Adam tells his mother he hates her, then sprints to the cineplex for what he’s convinced will be the next great franchise from an unparalleled cinematic genius.
The general indifference to “Willow” makes it an unlikely choice for a Disney+ series adaptation, but also a perfect one. Fandoms are fiercely protective of their respective mythologies, but in the case of “Willow,” there are too few fans of the film to revolt against a new creative direction. Series creator Jonathan Kasdan, who previously reworked Lucas lore in his screenplay for “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” got Lucas’ general blessing to adapt a series from his characters.
Warwick Davis retains his top billing as the title character, the heroic sorcerer who rescued a baby marked for death by an evil queen who fears the baby will one day depose her. But there’s plenty of time for Willow Ufgood, who, when the pilot begins, is off-screen living his best magical life. Kasdan’s first task is briskly to run through a summary of the film, then establish the new characters who will soon collaborate with legacy characters like Willow.
A couple more travelers join the search for Airk, including Boorman as a wise-cracking, sword-happy mercenary who agrees to join the quest. If that sounds remarkably like the contours of a beloved character from the film, it’s because Boorman is clearly designed as a stand-in for Madmartigan . Madmartigan still exists in the world of “Willow” and factors into the story, but without Kilmer, whose participation was precluded by his battle with throat cancer.
