The latest Disney+ Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew, is set to premiere on December 3 with the first two episodes, and Lucasfilm has now shared some new TV spots, a featurette, and the first full clips from the show.
In the first clip, our young heroes encounter a droid named SM-33 (voiced by Nic Frost), who Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) claims as her own once she informs him that she has killed his captain.
The other clip finds the crew attempting to convince Jude Law's mysterious Jod Na Nawood to return for SM-33, which he is reluctant to do. Nawood is clearly posing as a Jedi (and does seem to be Force-sensitive based on what we see in one of the TV spots), but something tells us his intentions aren't exactly noble.
We knew that Academy Award-winning Everything Everywhere All At Once directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (The Daniels) were on board, but showrunners Jon Watts and Christopher Ford recently announced that they have also assembled: Bryce Dallas Howard (The Mandalorian), Lee Isaac Chung (Twisters), David Lowery (The Green Knight) and Jake Schreier (Thunderbolts*).
"Ford and I sat down like, 'Who are our favourite directors, who would be good at this?'" said Watts. "We went out to all you guys, and you all said yes. No-one turned it down! 'Hey, do you want to do Star Wars? Play around in the Volume? Do pre-vis? Meet some pirates, some puppets, hang out with Jude Law?' 'Yeah, sounds great!'”
In addition to Law, the titular crew will consist of Ravi Cabot-Conyers as Wim, Kyriana Kratter as KB, Robert Timothy Smith as Neel, and Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Fern.
"When four kids make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, they get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy," according to the show's official synopsis. "Finding their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined."
