Interviews proceed to trickle in from Empire Magazine following their Secret Invasion difficulty, which includes a slew of Lucasfilm interviews, along with the Marvel focus. This most up-to-date report consists of feedback from Skeleton Crew co-creator, Christopher Ford and star, Jude Law relating to their upcoming present. Little is understood about Skeleton Crew apart from that the present follows a gaggle of children who find yourself on a harmful area journey with phrases like “Amblin-esque” getting used typically to explain the tone.
Lucasfilm unveiled the solid at Star Wars Celebration 2023, which incorporates Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, Robert Timothy Smith, and Ryan Kiera Armstrong. They additionally unveiled a small clip of the present to Celebration attendees. Empire, who reported dwell from Celebration, described the clip as:
A gaggle of galactic youngsters escape the college and suburbia of their quiet planet, and head off into the celebrities – the place pirates, a Jedi, and hazard awaits.
Not a lot to go on there! We do know that the pirate in query, is in actual fact, Vane from season 3 of The Mandalorian. His penchant for disruption and apparent lack of concern for kids is bound to generate obstacles for this budding area crew.
Regarding these potential risks, Ford remarked,
“The means Kathy [Kennedy] defined Amblin to us was that they by no means considered these as youngsters’ films. They simply occurred to have youngsters. All the stakes are as actual as doable: the youngsters suppose they’re in Andor.”
I’m fairly positive that Ford’s quip about Andor right here is meant as a joke, but it surely piqued my curiosity nonetheless. How harmful are we speaking?
Law elaborates on this rocky panorama,
They want steering, however they’re weak, and so all through, the folks they meet, you query all of them. Is my character good? Is he not? You simply need them to be alright and get again house. But if you recognize Jon and Chris’ work, you’ll know that the youngsters aren’t all the time protected.”
Seeing this galaxy, this world that we’ve all grown up loving, and the jeopardy, the divides, the heroes, the villains, via the eyes of youngsters, is good.”
I can’t assist however consider the top of Phantom Menace the place Anakin and R2-D2 by chance discover themselves within the heart of a raging area battle between the Nubian fighters and Trade Federation blockade. Despite the chance, I by no means felt that Anakin was in very a lot hazard right here. That stated, I completely benefit from the premise and Jake Lloyd’s charming “fly by the seat of his pants” mentality. If you dial up the hazard, because it appears they’ve achieved in Skeleton Crew, this premise is bound to be an much more gripping journey.
Jude Law’s character is a confirmed Force person. Perhaps Jedi, however we don’t know that for positive. Law hasn’t shied away from hinting at his character’s morally doubtful nature, which opens up quite a lot of potentialities. We’ll have to attend and see.
Skeleton Crew is presently in post-production and is scheduled to debut in late 2023 (we’ll see if that turns into early 2024 sooner or later). It was co-created by Christopher Ford and Jon Watts. It will happen in the course of the New Republic timeline, with Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni government producing.
