More About Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew follows the journey of four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, then get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Finding their way home—and meeting unlikely allies and enemies—will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined.
Watts originally conceived the series as a Goonies-inspired adventure set in the Star Wars universe. The focus on young kids coming of age is evident, and the inspiration is evident. This latest series approaches the universe from a child’s perspective roughly around the same time as The Mandalorian, giving a different look into a universe with so much more left to explore.
As families gather for the holidays, the timing of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’s new premiere date works perfectly. For Star Wars fans seeking new ways to introduce their family and friends to the universe, this new series may just be the proper gateway into getting new viewers into this age-old fandom.
