  • Title: Willow – The Gales
  • IMDb: link

So if Disney+ is resurrecting failed franchises more than 3 decades old and turning them into TV-series, does that mean I can expect a Condorman series in the near future? Set a generation after the events of 1988’s Willow, we are introduced to Princess Kit (Ruby Cruz) and Prince Airk (Dempsey Bryk), the spoiled children of Queen Sorsha (Joanne Whalley) and Madmartigan on the eve of Kit’s arranged wedding to Prince Graydon (Tony Revolori) when her brother is kidnapped by shadowy figures. Proving Willow’s (Warwick Davis) prophecy of a coming darkness true, the Queen sends out a party to rescue her son led by her daughter, Kit’s friend/lover Jade (Erin Kellyman), Graydon, and a thief (Amar Chadha-Patel) who is pardoned for guiding them on their journey.

After making his appearance known to the Crocks at the end of the last episode, Icicle (Neil Jackson) returns home offering a message of peace (despite the whole murder thing just hours before). From there, Blue Valley’s favorite son makes his public return to a shocked Barbara (Amy Smart) who is able to guess his role in the death of the Crocks without any difficulty. Meanwhile, the JSA help Artemis (Stella Smith) search for her missing parents leading them to discover the villain’s lair and the fate of the Crocks at the hands of the JSA’s proposed new ally against the Ultra-Humanite. While the Humanite is the looming threat, it’s Icicle and the question of his role in Blue Valley moving forward (and the unique combination of fear, hatred, hope, and forgiveness his reemergence brings out from various characters) that is central to the episode.
