We can hear the galaxy calling—and this time, children will lead the way. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is arriving earlier than expected, with a premiere that's revving up anticipation. Get your lightsabers ready and mark your calendars: on December 2, 2024, Disney+'s first two of the eight episodes of this new installment in the Star Wars saga will drop on Disney + at 6 p.m. (ET).
In Skeleton Crew, we will follow the journey of four children who, after making a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, end up lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy, where they will face challenges, unlikely enemies, and find unexpected allies to find their way back home—all of this while the Force does its magic.
With Jude Law shining as the mysterious Force user Jod Na Nawood and a director team worthy of a Jedi council—including Jon Watts, David Lowery, and The Daniels—Skeleton Crew promises an unmissable mix of nostalgia, freshness, and that dose of intergalactic excitement that only Star Wars knows how to deliver.
Mark your calendars, padawan, and may the Force be with you!
