Star Wars fans, buckle up! Lucasfilm used D23, the ultimate Disney fan event, as a platform to debut the trailer for their new series, “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew”. Yes, you heard it right!

About the New Show

This Star Wars spin-off is a coming-of-age story starring the fantastic Jude Law. Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Kyriana Kratter, and Robert Timothy Smith make up the young and adventurous lead quartet. These four stumble upon a cool Jedi guy called Jod Na Nawood, who Jude Law portrays. This Jod guy is described as a smooth-talker with a razor-sharp wit.

The Trailer Sneak Peak

The highlight was the trailer itself. It may have been a short one, but it packed a punch. Showcasing a wider universe than previous Star Wars shows, the trailer had a ‘movie-like' feel which really caught our eye.

Director's Cut

The brains behind this series are some really cool directors. You've got Jon Watts who helmed Spider-Man: No Way Home, David Lowery of Pete's Dragon fame, the super-talented Daniels duo (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) known for Everything Everywhere All At Once, Jake Schreier from Thunderbolts, Bryce Dallas Howard who contributed to The Mandalorian, and Lee Isaac Chung who directed Twisters. Woah, that's quite a roster!

Disney's Official Synopsis

Let me give you the lowdown on what to expect. “Skeleton Crew” follows four young'uns who stumble upon a pretty mysterious discovery on their home planet. This lands them in a distant galaxy filled with danger where they cross paths with Jod Na Nawood, the elusive character played by Jude Law. Stuck in this galaxy, getting back home means going on an adventure bigger than they could ever imagine. Sound fun, right?

Nostalgic Moments with The Mandalorian & Grogu

But hold on there! That is not where it ended. We also got a quick glimpse of “The Mandalorian” and Grogu. Guess what? It looks like the Star Wars saga is going back to an icy world similar to Hoth, with towering AT-AT Walkers. Unfortunately, this teased footage isn't available online yet, but according to insiders present at D23, it promises a thrilling return to the big screen in May 2026.
