Excited to dive into Star Wars: Skeleton Crew on Disney Plus this December 3? Well, you might need to adjust your plans slightly because Disney has decided to bring the adventure to you a touch earlier.
In a recent update, Disney announced that the much-anticipated Star Wars series will now premiere on its streaming platform on December 2 instead. While it’s just a one-day leap, the reasoning behind this switch remains a bit of a Disney mystery. Nevertheless, it’s good news for fans who are eager to jump into this new galaxy. Plus, Disney sweetened the deal by revealing that the show will kick off with not one, but two episodes. So, if the first one grabs your attention, you can immediately jump into the next without any anxious waiting.
The buzz didn’t stop there; Disney also unveiled the directors steering this eight-episode journey, peppering it with some well-known names in the industry.
Leading off is Jon Watts, who previously impressed audiences with the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy. He’ll also bookend the series by directing the eighth episode. Then there’s David Lowery, whose directorial range spans from last year’s whimsical Peter Pan & Wendy to the more profound The Green Knight and A Ghost Story; he’ll be tackling episodes two and three. Episode four is in the capable hands of The Daniels, who turned heads with their 2022 hit, Everything Everywhere All at Once. Following them, Jake Schreier, the genius behind the upcoming Marvel film Thunderbolts, will bring episode five to life.
For episode six, the talented Bryce Dallas Howard returns to familiar territory, having already contributed her directing skills to The Mandalorian. Episode seven brings us Lee Isaac Chun, another veteran of The Mandalorian and a key figure behind one of this year’s blockbuster hits, Twisters.
As for the storyline, Skeleton Crew is set to whisk viewers away on an exhilarating adventure featuring four kids. Their seemingly uneventful planet reveals an intriguing secret, propelling them into a galaxy that’s as strange as it is dangerous. The challenge of finding a way back home will push them into thrilling encounters with both unexpected allies and foes. Leading the cast is none other than Jude Law, adding a touch of star power to this Spielberg-esque adventure.
So, mark your calendars for December 2, gear up for an epic journey across the stars, and prepare for a viewing experience that promises to be as captivating as it is adventurous.
