“Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” is a Disney+ series that premiered on December 2, 2024. Set in the Star Wars universe during the New Republic era, the show follows four children—Wim, Fern, KB, and Neel—who inadvertently launch themselves into space after discovering an abandoned spaceship on their home planet, At Attin. Lost in a vast and perilous galaxy, they encounter Jod Na Nawood, portrayed by Jude Law, a mysterious figure who becomes both a guide and protector on their journey home.

The series is a coming-of-age adventure that pays homage to 1980s films like “The Goonies,” blending nostalgia with the expansive lore of Star Wars. Created by Jon Watts and Christopher Ford, “Skeleton Crew” emphasizes themes of friendship, resilience, and the universal desire to find one’s way back home.
