Lucasfilm dropped a new official trailer for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew on Friday.
The Star Wars live-action spin-off series starring Jude Law, created by Spider-Man Homecoming director Jon Watts and writer Christopher Ford, who also serve as the showrunners, follows along as the kids get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy and have to find their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies along the way.
Drawing inspiration from the movies of Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg, this is The Goonies and Stranger Things in a galaxy far, far away...
“Amblin always stands out to me because there was a feeling that they took the kids seriously", said Watts.
"They didn't feel like kids’ movies when you watched them as a kid, and even now looking back, they feel like grown-up films that just happened to star kids.”
It captures Star Wars-themed childhood adventures with friends including my trusty Tomy Omnibot, nicknamed "Chumbley" (fellow Whovians will get the reference to Galaxy 4).
“It’s the story of kids who happen to live on what they think of as a boring planet — it seems like the suburbs and nothing ever happens,” says series co-creator Ford. “And one day they find an old spaceship and it blasts them off, out into the galaxy.” But finding their way back quickly becomes complicated. “They realize once they’re out there that no one’s ever heard of their home planet,” Ford says. “Unfortunately, along the way they attract the attention of a bunch of pirates and other space criminals.”
Individual episodic directors are Jon Watts, David Lowery, the Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), Jake Schreier, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Lee Isaac Chung. The season was written by Christopher Ford and Jon Watts, with two episodes by Myung Joh Wesner. The series is executive produced by Christopher Ford, Jon Watts, Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson, along with co-executive producers Chris Buongiorno, Karen Gilchrist, Carrie Beck and producers Susan McNamara and John Bartnicki.
Skeleton Crew starts streaming with a two-episode series premiere in the UK on 4th December on Disney+.
