Disney+ has released the trailer for “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,” a coming-of-age television series starring Jude Law premiering on December 3. The show follows four kids — played by Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, Robert Timothy Smith, and Ryan Kiera Armstrong — who make a strange discovery on their planet that they think is a lost Jedi temple, but instead turns out to be a crashed spaceship. Lost in the galaxy, the kids end up on an adventure where they encounter Law’s character, Jod Na Nawood, a mysterious figure who can wield the Force — but may not be all he seems.

Law debuted the trailer on Friday during Disney's presentation of its upcoming series at the D23 Expo. The actor called the series "a timeless adventure story in the spirit of the Amblin coming-of-age tales of the '80s like 'Goonies' and 'E.T.,'" and the trailer definitely evokes the light-soaked, Spielbergian awe of those films.
At the 2022 Star Wars Celebration, Dave Filoni emphasized that while the series is about a group of children, it's not just for kids.
"They like to say it's as good for kids as 'Clone Wars,' and I'm like, 'Well, we chop people's heads off in 'Clone Wars,' so I'm not sure that's the benchmark you're looking for," Filoni joked. "Star Wars is definitely for kids, we're all big kids, I loved it when I was little and I'll still love it when I'm much older."
