STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW

Creators: Jon Watts, Christopher Ford
Starring: Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Jude Law, Kyriana Kratter, Robert Timothy Smith, Kerry Condon, Nick Frost

Writer/director Jon Watts brought a youthful vibe to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with his Spider-Man trilogy. Now he’s entering the Star Wars universe with Skeleton Crew. Watts co-created Skeleton Crew with Christopher Ford, and this story takes place after the Fall of the Empire during the New Republic era, which is also the same timeline as Ahsoka and The Mandalorian. There are space pirates running amok in the galaxy causing chaos. Meanwhile, back on the planet of Adatan, kids are going to school, parents are working and it’s a very simple life. Ravi Cabot-Conyers plays Wim, a young boy who is running late for school one day and comes across a Jedi temple buried in the ground in the middle of the woods. He and his alien friend, Neel, think they’ve stumbled upon something secretive only to find that their classmate, Fern (Armstrong), and her buddy, KB, are also there and claim dibs to it. As they mess around, they realize this isn’t a temple, but a starship that they accidentally activate and fly off in. The kids find themselves lost in space face to face with unknown creatures, humans, and a prisoner named Jod, who seems to possess the powers of the Jedi. Jude Law plays this mysterious Jedi who may be their only hope. Now streaming on Disney+
