There has been quite a bit of hype around this upcoming show majorly because of these two reasons. First is that it features Jude Law and second is that it is a part of the same timeline as The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka. So we can expect it to crossover with these characters really soon. Anyways, as it happens a new report which leaked the US Copyright databank information, revealed the new synopsis of the series alongside a potential release date of January 2024. This means Skeleton Crew may not be able to stick to the original release timeline, and will get pushed to 2024. The new synopsis reads:
“In the first episode of ‘Skeleton Crew’ we are introduced to four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet and get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Finding their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies, will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined.”
As for the cast of the series, it features Jude Law as a Force-user, and Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, Robert Timothy Smith, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Tunde Adebimpe, Kerry Condon, and Jaleel White in undisclosed roles.

Moving on, as you may be aware the Skeleton Crew footage/teaser was revealed at the Star Wars celebration 2023. Obviously, the trailer was leaked shortly and to view it, all you need to do is click on the video below. Unfortunately we just have the first 60 seconds of the teaser as the final few minutes haven’t been leaked yet however, we do have the full description. But first, check out the leaked teaser below!
The footage opens with kids living on an unknown forested world. They go to school, living their lives riding speeder bikes, but longing for adventure and they find it when they go exploring in the woods one night. Their parents return home to a vision of Star Wars suburbia unlike anything we’ve seen in the franchise before… and find that their kids have gone missing. Those kids, our main group—two young girls (one wearing a Star Trek: TNG -tyle head visor), a young boy, and a small alien that looks very much like he’s a young Ortolan, one of the blue pudgy allies popularized by Max Rebo in Return of the Jedi—appear to have found their way aboard a mercenary starship.
There are shots of them encountering weird creatures, holograms of their parents back home begging for them to return, and the kids being menaced by pirates (including, it seems, the Nikto pirate formerly of Gorian Shard’s crew in The Mandalorian, further tying the series’ timeline into the post-Return of the Jedi era). The kids find themselves on the run from blaster fire in what looks like a pirate base and flying away on their new ship before the trailer concludes with them locked up in a prison cell carved out of a cave. A hooded figure approaches, floating the key to their freedom in front of the kids with a whimsical display of the force. “He’s a Jedi!” One of the kids exclaims as the figure lowers their hood to reveal that it is Jude Law’s mysterious character.
The footage ends with the reveal that the show is all set to release on Disney Plus in 2023! Also, checked out the leaked Andor Season 2 trailer here and the leaked Star Wars: The Acolyte trailer here!
