Giving those 80s vibes
The first official trailer for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew looks far different than any other Star Wars media. Rather than focus on massive conflicts between Rebels, Empires, and lightsaber-wielding Force users, this show is a more grounded adventure centered around kids. We see our lead in school and suburban neighborhood dreaming of adventure. When he and his friends uncover what they suspect to be a lost Jedi Temple, they get more than they bargained for.
After getting lost in the reaches of space, the kids will meet a cast of robots and creatures, but most importantly Jude Law’s character Jod Na Nawood who appears to be able to use the Force. Other actors included in the cast include Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, and Kerry Condon.
None of the child actor’s characters have been named as of yet.
Law took to the stage to present the trailer during D23 where he stated the show was “a timeless adventure story in the spirit of Goonies and ET…What I love most about this series, it is told through the perspective from the kids as they explore dangerous worlds, not sure who they can trust.”
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will be set during the same time period as The Mandalorian, which we also learned that The Mandalorian and Gorgu is currently in production, and is officially described as “the journey of four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, then get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy, crossing paths with the likes of Jod Na Nawood, the Mysterious character played by Law.”
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will debut on Disney+ on December 3 with a two-episode premiere and a total episode count of eight.
