What Can Fans Expect From Star Wars: Skeleton Crew?

Skeleton Crew will be led by four children who make a strange discovery on their home planet and find themselves lost in the galaxy, searching for their way home, where they will run into a Jedi - Jod Na Nawood (played by Jude Law).

The series will occupy the same post-original trilogy timeline as The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and The Book of Boba Fett. As such, the door is open for allies and enemies from across the MandoVerse to appear across the eight episodes.

The pirates featured in The Mandalorian Season 3 will be among the villains featured in Skeleton Crew, including the hedge-like Pirate King Gorian Shard. 


Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will begin with a two-episode premiere on Monday, December 2 at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET.
