Star Wars: skeleton crew, the Disney Plus series announced a year ago will premiere on the streaming service later this year. The kids-vs.-Empire spin on the Star Wars franchise got another close-up in convention-exclusive footage — meaning it hasn’t been shown to the public yet — which premiered at Star Wars Celebration 2023.
Lucasfilm also confirmed more of the cast for it Skeleton crew. Joining Jude Law are Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin) and Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter and Robert Timothy Smith as the children.
The show takes place in the same time frame as Disney Plus’ The Mandalorianwhose third season has just premiered, and Boba Fett’s book, which aired at the end of 2021.
Jon Watts, Christopher Ford, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni serve as executive producers, with Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (from 2023’s Oscar-winning Best Picture Everything everywhere at once), Jon Watts (Spider Man: Coming Home), Bryce Dallas Howard (The Mandalorian), and Jake Schreier (BeefMarvel’s Lightning strikes) on board as drivers.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew plays Jude Law and follows a group of kids who are lost in the galaxy trying to find their way home. It is set in the New Republic era, the time period in which the sequel trilogy (starting with 2015’s The power awakens) occurs.
