The new, full trailer for the next Star Wars series set during the timeline of The Mandalorian and Ahsoka shows, Skeleton Crew, is here!
A very different flavour for Star Wars, the new trailer really gives us the previously touted Amblin feel, with the series feeling more like ET or The Goonies than Star Wars as we know it.
What if we could go anywhere we want in the whole galaxy?”
This December, we’re ready to get lost in space on a new Star Wars quest asking exactly that.
Introducing the curious protagonists: Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), KB (Kyriana Kratter), Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), and their motley crew: the mysterious and enigmatic Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law) and the droid SM-33 (voiced by Nick Frost), the decrepit first mate of the Onyx Cinder. The cast also includes Tunde Adebimpe and Kerry Condon.
The series, created by Spider-Man Homecoming director Jon Watts and writer Christopher Ford, who also serve as the showrunners, follows along as the kids get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy and have to find their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies along the way.
We would follow them to the ends of the galaxy.
“At its core it’s a story about wanting to explore a world that’s bigger than your own,” Watts tells StarWars.com. “I think that’s something that people can relate to, no matter how old you are.”
“And setting a new group of characters off on their first adventure is fascinating, especially getting to see how they will grow over time,” adds Ford.
From the quiet calm of the bucolic streets and classrooms of their homeworld to the wider galaxy in the era of the New Republic, it looks like we’re in for a wild ride. The tantalizing trailer ends with a simple gesture: a floating key levitated into Jod’s hands.
As Wim puts it: “A real adventure!” Count us in!
When four kids make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, they get lost in a strange & dangerous galaxy. Finding their way home, meeting unlikely allies & enemies will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined
Skeleton Crew arrives on Disney+ on December 3rd

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
