Lucasfilm and Disney have released a new trailer for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew – and, if there were still any doubts, he's definitely going for a 'star wars meets Goonies' vibe.
The last of the new 2024 Star Wars TV shows and movies, launching on Disney Plus in early December, looks equal parts cute, exciting, dramatic and action-packed in a teaser for the song 'Major Tom (Coming Home)' by Peter Schilling. , although it appears to have been translated into Huttese. It also looks like it's leaning heavily into the dirty, criminal underworld aesthetic that was a hallmark of the iconic sci-fi franchise's early years, which is sure to appeal to older Star Wars fans, some of whom, along with younger viewers, I'm not exactly in love with Star Wars: The Acolyte earlier this year.

If you're a little puzzled about what skeleton crewThe story is, let's be honest, as fun as its latest trailer seems, it's difficult to determine its plot, don't worry, because I'm here to help you. Basically, it follows four kids named Wim (played by Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), KB (Kyriana Kratter) and Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), who get lost in that famous galaxy far, far away. How do they do it? Well, they find a spaceship buried on their home planet, and after somehow excavating it without any adults finding out, they accidentally fire up its engines and hyperdrive, and end up in a distant and dangerous part of the cosmos.
But fear not for their safety, because Jude Law's enigmatic rogue Jod Na Nawood, who some observers already theorize is a Jedi (or, at the very least, a Force wielder), offers to help them return home. . I suspect, however, that he'll want something in return, and that something might be the same spaceship the quartet originally found.

This is not our first official look at skeleton crew. In August, Lucasfilm and Disney debuted the first trailer for the sci-fi series, which was one of the nine big announcements we were most excited to see at D23 Expo 2024. That trailer arrived nine days later. Star Wars: Skeleton CrewThe official release date was announced along with some first-look images of its adorable child characters. For those who didn't read about when Disney Plus, aka one of the best streaming services in the world, will take off in the previous X/Twitter post, it will arrive on December 3 (US) and December 4 (United Kingdom). and Australia) with a two-episode premiere.
Joining Law and his young co-stars in the cast are Kerry Condon and Tunde Adebimpe; the latter of whom, as confirmed in this new trailer, plays Wim's father. It's unclear who Condon's unnamed character is related to, but I suspect it will be Fern's mother or KB. Nick Frost is also part of the process, with former Simon Pegg collaborator voicing the droid known as SM-33.
Jon Watts, who directed the first three Spider-Man films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has co-created skeleton crew with Christopher Ford, who wrote the screenplay for Spider-Man: Homecoming. The pair have also assembled a cast of truly talented directors for this project, with The green knight's David Lowery, B.eef and Good heavens filmmaker Jake Schreier, The Mandalorian veterans Bryce Dallas Howard and Lee Isaac Chung, and the Daniels, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, directing their episodes. The involvement of the latter duo is particularly exciting, especially in light of their work on the multiple Oscar-winning film. Everything everywhere and at the same time.
Clearly, skeleton crew It has plenty of star power, but will its narrative hold up and earn it a spot on our list of the best shows on Disney Plus? I hope so, but my colleague Rob Dunne believes skeleton crew He already has a lot to convince. I wonder if this new trailer will change your mind.
