The series «Star Wars: Skeleton Crew» will be released before the New Year holidays. The show by John Watts and Christopher Ford is due to be released on Disney Plus around Christmas (late December).
The series is set in the New Republic era and is described as a coming-of-age story inspired by the 1985 adventure film «The Goonies». «Four children embark on an adventure to return home after getting lost in the galaxy and making a discovery on their home planet».
«The tone of Skeleton Crew is an adventure. We wanted it to be a lot of fun. But of course, along with adventure, there is a downside, and that is danger. And when children are in danger, it’s extremely dangerous. So we played around with that, but overall we wanted it to be just a fun adventure,» said Christopher Ford Entertainment Weekly.
