The Star Wars TV universe is in full swing, with The Mandalorian having given us its third season this past spring, and Ahsoka wrapping up Season 1 just last week. Now we are headed into the kickoff of a brand new series within the same timeline and universe titled Skeleton Crew. The series has previously been described as ”a galactic version of classic Amblin coming of age adventure films of the ’80s.”
Now, we have a little more detail to share that comes from X page Mandoverse Updates. They shared the studio’s first copyright filing. According to the filing, a group of four kids make a discovery that’s both strange and dangerous, and that effectively serves as the crux of the series:
“In the first episode of the Skeleton Crew we are introduced to four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet and get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy,” the new synopsis reads. “Finding their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies, will be a great adventure than they ever imagined.”
The filing also confirms Jon Watts directed the pilot episode, with the primary cast members being Jude Law, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Robert Timothy Smith, Ravi Cavot-Conyers, and Kyrianna Kratter.
It’s expected Skeleton Crew will take place in the same part of the timeline as Lucasfilm’s other Star Wars shows on Disney+, with The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau previously suggesting the characters from the serious popping up in other projects around the same time.
We don’t have a release date for the series yet, but stay tuned, and we will keep you posted.
