Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is the latest addition to the small-screen, Disney Plus streaming version of the Galaxy Far, Far Away that we all know and love. Starring Jude Law, the series, which comes from Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts, aspires to be a throwback to the kind of movies Amblin Entertainment put out in the eighties. It’s led by a young cast of kids, with it very much in the mould of The Goonies, albeit in space. So far, it’s collected far better reviews from both critics and fans than many other, more divisive Star Wars projects have in recent years (read our review here).

Recently, we were invited to take part in the Skeleton Crew press day in NYC, and our interviewer, Eric Walkuski was able to speak to two of the stars, Kyriana Kratter & Robert Timothy Smith. Kyriana Kratter plays Kb, who sports...

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is here! After years of waiting and some delays, let's jump into a new adventure in a galaxy far, far away!

Let's recap Skeleton Crew episode one, "This Could Be A Real Adventure."

We open with a crawl describing how the New Republic is the governmental power in the galaxy after the fall of the Empire, but the hyperspace lanes are plagued by pirates, as we have seen in The Mandalorian.

Suddenly, a ship floats onto the screen and is impaled by boarding ramps from a pirate ship. The crew of the ship ready to defend themselves. Pirates pour onto the ship, murdering and causing mayhem. The Shistavanen, Aka Wolf Man named Brutus, clears the way for Captain Silvo.

Silvo intimidates the captain of the vessel, who is looking for the vault.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is a new series coming to Disney+.

The series followed four kids as they discover a crashed ship in the woods of their utopian homeworld. The children are Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers) a dreamer who wants adventures unlike his best friend Neel (Robert Timothy Smith) as well as the rebellious Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) and her bestie Kb (Kyriana Kratter). When the ship takes off with them inside, they must traverse a dangerous galaxy to get back home. Thankfully they are helped by a Force user named Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law) and the ship’s grumpy first mate droid Sm-33 (Nick Forst).

The kids catch the eye of pirates including captain Brutus (Fred Tatasciore), Gunter (Jaleel White), and The Mandalorian’s Vane (Marti Matulis) who hunt them. Things aren’t peaceful back on their world either as Fern’s mom Fara (Kerry Condon) is aware that something is wrong,...

If one thing has been constant when it comes to Skeleton Crew, the series has been quite the victim of merchandise leaks. The latest is no exception, revealing a better look at one character and revealing a completely new one.

As reported by user Star Wars Meg via Twitter, part of the Bag Clip line gives fans a better look as well as the name of a character seen in the first trailer. The character is an Owl-like alien, and it's revealed this person is called "Kim." The other character is brand new. They are the same species as the blue-elephant main character, Neel. The leak has their name as "Jorka," and it's unknown at this time how the person may be related to Neel.

Back in August, a D23 display gave us a first glimpse of the pirate villains who will be introduced in Lucasfilm's next Disney+ Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew.

We larned that Vane - The Pirate King Gorian Shard's Nikto right-hand man from season 3 of The Mandalorian - will lead this motley bunch, and he'll be joined by a Shistavanen, a Gran and a formidable looking droid with a peg-leg.

Now, EW has revealed an official look at these pirates, as well as their character names and which actors will be playing them.

The crew will consist of: Vane (Marti Matulis), Gunter (Jaleel White), Brutus, Pax (performance artist: Mike Estes), and Chaelt (Dale Soules).

Check out the new image at the link below, along with another look at Jude Law as the mysterious Jod Na Nawood, who co-creator Christopher Fored describes as a "whole new kind of Jedi."

With The Acolyte having come and gone (not to mention getting cancelled), the stage is set for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the next live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. Entertainment Weekly has dropped a couple of new images from Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, which includes a look at Jaleel White (Urkel!) as a space pirate!

Jaleel White plays Gunter, the cyborg-looking character seen above. He’s flanked by Vane (Marti Matulis), who you might recognize from The Mandalorian, as well as Brutus (voiced by Fred Taatasciorce and played by Stephen Oyoung), Pax (Mike Estes), and Chaelt (Dale Soules). “Those are pirates!“ Skeleton Crew co-creator Christopher Ford confirmed to EW. “Space pirates.“

While we’ve seen pirates in Star Wars before, it sounds as though they will be more heavily featured in Skeleton Crew. “With the era we’re in, we’re kind of getting to play with that lawless thing,...

Star Wars fans are feeling a letdown from The Acolyte, which was canceled after one season after a mixed reaction. But the franchise is going ahead with Skeleton Crew, a new series that promises a more kid-oriented view of the Star Wars universe.

The series, taking place in the same time frame as other Star Wars shows like The Mandalorian, focuses on a quartet of children who are somehow rocketed off their home planet and have to find a way home. They discover an unlikely mentor in Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law), who has a mysterious past.

As expected for a Star Wars show, the producers have been tight-lipped on details, but a new peek from Entertainment Weekly has shared more on how this era,...

In the photo, White looks to be playing a cyborg named Gunter with mechanical parts that are not so different from Lobot in the original trilogy. To the left, it's a familiar face with the pirate Vane, played by Marti Matulis. First seen in Season 3 of The Mandalorian, it's been confirmed for some time that Vane would be in Skeleton Crew as an antagonist. Going left to right, the Shistavanen, Aka Wolf Man of the group, is named Brutus, played by Stephan Oyoung, and voiced by longtime Lucasfilm voice actor Frank Tatasciore. The last...
