The series will star four kids making their way through the Star Wars galaxy.
While it was previously announced that Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts would be making a Star Wars series billed as a “1980 coming-of-age adventure in space,” we have now learned more details about the project at the Star Wars Celebration event. The series will be called Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, will star Jude Law, and filming starts on the project soon, aiming for a 2023 release.
Appearing at Celebration, Watts stated “This is a show that we’ve been working on for a really long time.” Watts continued, “it’s a story of 10-year-old kids from a tiny planet who get lost in the Star Wars galaxy. It’s the story of their journey home.” Watts stated that, “It stars four kids, but it’s not just for kids,” with Dave Filioni joking that Clone Wars was also for kids but “we cut people’s heads off in Clone Wars.” The first piece of concept art showed four kids in silhouette against a giant spaceship. The new series will take place after the events of Return of the Jedi.
