Disney has officially announced Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, a new Disney+ original series that will launch in 2023 and will star Jude Law.
Have a tip for us? This new series will follow a group of 10-year-old kids from a small planet who get lost in that galaxy far, far away and must try to find their way home. This Star Wars: Skeleton Crew news was just one of the many reveals at Star Wars Celebration so far, and joins the release date and first trailer of Star Wars' Andor, the official teaser trailer of Willow, the first image from Indiana Jones 5, and the confirmation that the third season of The Mandalorian and the premiere of Ahsoka will arrive in 2023.
Jon Watts' upcoming 'Star Wars' series has an official title and a lead actor, in Jude Law — get the details.
Casting is currently underway for the four preteens who will lead the show. It is “as much for kids as The Clone Wars,“ exec producer Dave Filoni said at Star Wars Celebration. Set during the post-Return of the Jedi reconstruction following the Empire’s demise (same as The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and the upcoming Ahsoka series), Skelton Crew is about a group of kids lost in the Star Wars galaxy trying to find their way home.
'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew' starring Jude Law will be set after the events of 'Return of the Jedi.'
Joanne Whalley, who starred in the original movie as Sorsha, joined her former and future costar on stage along with new cast members Ellie Bamber, Ruby Cruz, and Erin Kellyman, who will play a trio of new heroines in the story that is set 20 years after the film. Willow himself, Warwick Davis (equally famous in these parts for playing Wicket the Ewok as well as several other characters in the Star Wars galaxy), later joined the pair to a standing ovation. "The beauty of this show is that there's no way they'll kill me," joked the actor. (Cue the maniacal puppet laughter!) Here is all the big news and moments that came out the panel. It's really been incredible, so thank you."
The show from the creators of 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' was previously codenamed 'Grammar Rodeo.'
“It’s the story of their journey trying to find their way home.” “It stars four kids, but it is not a kid’s show,” Ford added. They said the show will begin shooting soon, with plans to debut next year.

Or will they take a more optimistic tone than Favreau and Filoni’s other series, The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, and the upcoming Ahsoka? More details are sure to emerge as we near the series’ 2023 premiere on Disney+. The 2015 movie followed two boys who steal a police car that belongs to crooked cop Kevin Bacon, who will go to any lengths to retrieve the vehicle and the incriminating evidence it holds.
