Disney has officially announced Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, a new Disney+ original series that will launch in 2023 and will star Jude Law.

Revealed at Star Wars Celebration, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is created by Spider-Man: No Way Home's Jon Watts and Christopher Ford, and Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni will serve as producers.

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. The story will take place after Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and will fit within the timeline The Mandalorian and Ahsoka take place in.

Details of the then-untitled Star Wars: Skeleton Crew were reported on earlier this month and had a working title of Grammar Rodeo. It was also described as galactic version of classic Amblin coming-of-age adventure films of the '80s.
 
Jude Law? Good grief, it’s getting absurd how how every Star Wars projects casts men I’d really like to date. Harrison Ford. Ewan McGregor. Diego Luna. Oscar Isaac. Pedro Pascal. And now Jude Law.
 
My bet is that he's Dash Rendar, well that; my hope anyway!

TBH Law is the only thing interesting about this show to me as the premise seemed vague on a couple details, and the fact it's mostly kids so unless they found a bunch of kids who can act as well as the new Leia in OWK this could go bad quickly. The aspect I'm unclear about is the statement that it takes place in the "Star Wars Galaxy" which to me meant these kids were from a different Galaxy but somehow got lost in a GFFA and need to find their way back home. That part I'll admit could be an interesting take and be the fresh air so many of us need where everyone isn't connected.
 
Does anyone have high hopes for this? It seems like it could be really cheesy and lame. Primary school in the Stars.

That was my first thought and I really hope they go that route as well and all the characters are completely new.

However, I have the feeling that one of the kids will be force-sensitive in some way and we'll see that kid be able to do a bunch of Jedi-type stuff. maybe the crew will have to do everything to hide that kid's abilities.

I think it's great they want to make a live-action show with kids to appeal to kids, but they won't be able to resist the temptation of having lightsabers and such. Maybe Jude Law will end up being a former Jedi as well........
 
Being as this is supposed to take place elsewhere outside the main GFFA focus point, possibly even be in the outer regions if I'm reading it right, the crew could very well be Jedi survivors that went into hiding. In one of the old books we learnt that Yoda had set up a Jedi Academy on a ship stationed far away. So this idea could be very plausible and IMO make the most sense as opposed to just a random ship full of kids, for whatever reason they're stuck with each other, and then somehow becomes lost in GFFA. I mean is it a ship full of foster children? Random survivors of something else? Was it said that they originate from GFFA but get lost in the Great beyond? I don't quite remember.

Oh great, even more Outer Rim aliens I won’t recognize… 😉
 
Heck maybe we'll finally get some Klingons in Star Wars! I mean they've got to be considered as outer rim Aliens right?

I do wonder if they plan to explore the Vong, I personal feel it would be a mistake and they don't exactly scream kid friendly. Not that this line is even aimed at kids anymore, but the shows are or they wouldn't inject childish humor. And I don't see Disney lining up to see scarred Aliens killing anyone and everyone indiscriminately. lol

I would like to see some exploration of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force.
 
I think the kids will crash on a desert planet, and either one of two things will happen:

1). They arrive in a wretched hive of scum and villainy, and Boba Fett (an artful dodger if ever there were one) employs them as street hustlers.

2). They arrive in a wretched hive of scum and villainy (called Bordertown), and end up escaping with a tough warrior named Max Rockatansky.

I guess it’s also possible they crash on the planet Andor grew up on, or maybe Endor to make friends with Teek and the Ewoks. It depends on who they got to write the script.
 
All I know is that if the kids are all Human my interest will drop by about half, it's getting to where hardly any Alien characters are present anymore.
And IMO that's what Diversity looks like in a GFFA, not different colored Humans that look exactly like Earthlings.

I think they’ll look like Bajorans…

lol, moments like this... It's like um you'd already be dead before you tuned completely around pal! Might look good as an action scene to children but isn't practical at all. he's not even a Jedi. lol
 
Maybe he’s got to prime himself up. It’s like when free-throw shooters twirl the ball or whatever. He has to move himself into “aim position.” That’s my explanation.
 
Not to get off topic: I actually quite like the ‘Vespa’ gang (spins and all) and I also don’t think they constitute as a legitimate reason why TBoBF has problems - which is more plotting and structural, than characters, from my POV.

Low key/budget cyber upgrade - he has to use kinetic energy to charge up.

Or maybe he just likes to do things with unnecessary flair, which has little to do with efficiency and everything to do with displaying some pizzaz while fighting…?

Whatever the reason, I don’t mind it at all - and secretly I wished I could move like that!

😂

I have 19+ years of martial arts training under my belt, so unnescessary moves like that really irks me :)
It's a well performed spin, but it makes zero sense in a fight scenario.

You must really love Asian Cinema ever since crouching Tiger then, because now every movie seems to have floating air kicks and triple axel spins etc.! lol

well.. there's cinematic fighting and there's realism. Real fights don't look good on the silver screen. And they don't last that long either.

Late reply but yes indeed..I do not look for realism in fighting from cinema. My wife and watch some Chinese programing and the fights are very over the top and fun and not serious at all, save for the drama carried by the characters.

A more realistic take would be Obi-Wan vs. Maul in "Twin Suns."

That fight is so good!
 
It’s one of my very favorite Star Wars moments.

But the question is, will we be getting a figure of the Ortolan or only the boring human kids? 😁
It is interesting that that's the one front and center on the ingot, the designer must like Aliens too?
Of course, the real question is, are the two actually related like people think Grogu is to Yoda. :unsure:
 
Didn't you hear? These people are from Earth and get lost in Space somehow, probably via some weird space whale and are transported to GFFA. 😁
