What is the plot of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew?
Four regular kids are set to experience the adventure of a lifetime after finding themselves lost in the Star Wars galaxy. Returning to their home planet, clearly, is not an easy feat, which means they need to rely on their wit, resourcefulness, and even their penchant for trouble, AKA curiosity, to make it home.
But first things first — they need help. Enter, Jod Na Nawood, played by Jude Law, a user of the legendary The Force who eventually becomes their sort of guardian while scrambling in the perpetual galaxy.
Skeleton Crew takes place in the same time frame as The Mandalorian and its affiliated spin-offs, right after the events of 1983’s Return of the Jedi. The series is created by Jon Watts and Christopher Ford, who also executive produced the show with Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson.
