“Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, an original series starring Jude Law, from executive producers Jon Watts, Christopher Ford, Jon Favreau & Dave Filoni, is streaming in 2023 only on DisneyPlus”: https://twitter.com/starwars/status/1529901534573568000
Deadline are reporting the first season of this has recently finished filming, which is good news as I thought this was going to be another one of of those announced Star Wars shows that never makes it to screen. Also from the Deadline article:
‘Directed by Jon Watts with Christopher Ford as a writer, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is set to take place in the same timeline as The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. Watts said the new series is about “a group of kids who are about ten years old who get lost in the Star Wars universe.” The director also noted that although the show will have four kids as its stars, “it’s not a kids show.”’
The first piece of concept art from Skeleton Crew shown to the audience at Celebration 2022:
I think this was the show some fans were claiming (or hoping?) had a ‘Stranger Things in Space’ vibe? I hope we get to see a teaser or trailer soon. Maybe at Celebration 2023 in April.
The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.
The trailer for this was just shown at Celebration 2023, but has not been officially released for everyone else to watch it.
Disney are doing its usual thing and taking down any videos online put up by fans on their phones at Celebration, but if you are quick you can still find some of them. It is almost as if Disney do not want any interested fans to watch the trailer for their own series.
'The show is set in the New Republic era, and will follow a group of kids lost in the galaxy trying to find their way home. It is described as a “Star Wars” version of some of Amblin’s coming-of-age films from the 1980s like “E.T.” and “The Goonies.”
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said director Jon Watts “really got the tone,” which is in the vein of the Amblin movies Kennedy produced for Steven Spielberg.’

I hadn’t realized that Jude Law was playing a Jedi in this. I wonder if we’ll see his backstory early on in the series?

“I’m actually going to be in a new series on Disney+ starring Jude Law called Skeleton Crew,” White revealed. “Yeah, it’s coming out in … November/December, and it’s part of the Star Wars universe. So that’s a big change for me, man. I had to do two hours of makeup every day. I get to play a pirate.”
