Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Teaser Trailer Released at D23

As a lifelong Star Wars enthusiast who’s seen more than one galaxy far, far away, I must admit, the trailer for Disney+’s Star Wars: Skeleton Crew has me both excited and skeptical. The suburban setting is an intriguing twist on the traditional Star Wars landscape, reminiscent of the Amblin vibe we all know and love from E.T. and The Goonies. If they can pull it off without losing the essence of what makes Star Wars, well, Star Wars, then I’m all for it!


Disney Plus has unveiled the first official teaser for the upcoming series, “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.” Starring Jude Law, this spin-off of “Star Wars” seems to be a youthful adaptation, as it showcases scenes that appear to have moved away from the conventional farmlands and battlefields, opting instead for a suburban setting reminiscent of Lucasfilm. This gives off an atmosphere similar to a Steven Spielberg take on “Star Wars,” blending elements of “E.T.” or “The Goonies” within a distant galaxy. Whether it will resonate with fans and prove successful remains to be seen, considering the challenges in creating fresh content within the “Star Wars” universe lately.

You can see the trailer below.

Apart from Jude Law, the cast and crew of “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” boast an impressive lineup. Notably, Bryce Dallas Howard, known for her work in the Star Wars universe, will helm an episode. Nick Frost, famous for “Shaun of the Dead“, is set to make an appearance. Moreover, Jon Watts, director of “Spider-Man: No Way Home“, will take on the role of showrunner. Interestingly, Watts recently revealed a sneak peek of his upcoming movie titled “Wolfs“, starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Remarkably, a sequel for this yet-to-be-released film has already been given the green light, making it an exciting week for Jon Watts.

If you take a closer look, it seems like we incorporated some technology reminiscent of the early “Star Wars” movies, dating back to the original film according to Law’s statement made earlier this year. One of the delightful aspects of this universe is that they skillfully hide Easter eggs – small details or references – for those who enjoy discovering them. These hidden treasures are often interconnected and can be found by keen-eyed fans.

Watts affirmed that the series would be filled with numerous “hidden treasures” or “subtle references.” He further mentioned, “I’m thrilled… frankly, even in the very first episode, there are some truly fantastic nods to specific enthusiasts who will instantly spot them.”

Watts clarified that it’s not necessary to be an expert on “Star Wars” to appreciate the series. Newcomers can jump right in and still enjoy the plot. However, if you’re a dedicated “Star Wars” enthusiast, there are many details for you to savor.

According to the official summary, “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” tells the tale of four young explorers who stumble upon an intriguing secret on what they believed was a secure home planet. Subsequently, they become lost in a distant and hazardous galaxy. Navigating their way back home while encountering unexpected allies and adversaries promises to be a more exhilarating adventure than they had ever dared to dream.

Stay tuned for updates on Star Wars: Skeleton Crew before it premieres on December 3rd.
