New Pirate Characters Revealed For STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW at D23 Expo
Thanks to a display at Disney’s D23 Expo, we have a look at four new characters who will appear in Lucasfilm’s upcoming series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.
This is a crew of villainous pirates led by Vane, who previously appeared in The Mandalorian series. This looks like a fun and interesting group of Star Wars characters.
We’re hoping that we will get a first trailer during the big presentation at D23 on tonight, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
The series has been described as ”a galactic version of classic Amblin coming-of-age adventure films of the ’80s.” The story will follow four young kids from a tiny little planet, and they end up getting lost in the Star Wars galaxy and embark on a journey to find their way back home.
The film was pitched to Lucasfilm as “Goonies in Star Wars," and it’s been explained that while the series stars four kids, “it's not a kid’s show."
The official synopsis for the series reads: "When four kids make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, they get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Finding their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined."
Jude Law stars in the series and he’s joined by Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, Robert Timothy Smith, and Ryan Kiera Armstrong.
The episodes in the show will be directed by Bryce Dallas Howard, The Daniels, David Lowery, Jake Schreier, and Lee Isaac Chung. The Mandalorian's Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni will executive produce.
