Jude Law came onstage and said the series harkens to the Amblin kid fantasy films of the 1980s ala The Goonies.

“I fell in love with Star Wars when I was a 10-year-old boy,” he said. “[This] series is told from the perspective of the kids.”

Skeleton Crew has its two-episode premiere December 3 on the Disney streamer.

In the clip, young kids are zipping around a space academy environment. They come across a tunnel in the woods, zip down, find a ship, fly through hyperspace, encounter big monsters and fire off turret guns. Oh, and Law plays a Jedi. It’s very young-skewing.

The Star Wars series executive produced by Jon Watts takes place in the same timeline as The Mandalorian and Book Of Boba Fett , and follows “a group of kids who are about 10 years old who get lost in the Star Wars universe,” per Watts, who announced the series at Star Wars Celebration 2022. “It stars four kids but it’s not a kids show,” he added.

Christopher Ford is a writer on the series, with Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni as EPs.

Deadline told you that Skeleton Crew was shot in California and was projected to spend around $136 million in qualified expenditures during its first cycle in the Golden State, with an estimated tax credit of $20.9M.
