Following the mixed reception of "The Acolyte", the next "Star Wars" live-action series is already on the horizon – and "Skeleton Crew" is set to raise the bar! Expect a new adventure, new characters, and plenty of Star Wars action.
The Plot of "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew"
At the center of the story are four kids: Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), and KB (Kyriana Kratter). After making a mysterious discovery on their home planet, they find themselves lost in the vastness of the galaxy. Fortunately, they are not alone – the enigmatic Force-user Jod Na Nawood (played by Jude Law) is there to help them. Together, they must find a way back home! The story is set after the original trilogy and promises a fresh, exciting adventure in the Star Wars universe.
The Team Behind "Skeleton Crew"
"Skeleton Crew" is the seventh live-action series in the Star Wars universe! Following successes like "The Mandalorian", "Obi-Wan Kenobi", "Andor", and "Ahsoka", expectations are naturally high. However, the team behind the series is promising: it was developed by "Spider-Man" director Jon Watts and screenwriter Chris Ford. With an all-star directing team, including David Lowery, Bryce Dallas Howard, and the duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the series promises quality. The first season was filmed between summer 2022 and January 2023 under the working title "Grammar Rodeo", hinting at an exciting journey through the galaxy!
So, mark December 3, 2024, on your calendar! That’s when "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" premieres on Disney+. The series consists of eight episodes, released weekly. A new adventure awaits you every week!
