Watch Jude Law star in epic first trailer for ‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ series
The first trailer for upcoming Star Wars series Skeleton Crew has been shared.
Jude Law, who plays Jod Na Nawood in the forthcoming show, presented the trailer on Friday (August 9) during Disney’s presentation of its upcoming slate at the D23 Expo, the biennial convention for members of the official Disney fan club, in California. You can view it below.
The actor called the series “a timeless adventure story in the spirit of the Amblin coming-of-age stories of the ’80s like The Goonies and E.T..
When asked what it was like joining the Star Wars galaxy he added (via Variety): “Wow, how to sum that up. Honestly, I was like six years-old when this galaxy, this world gripped me, blew my mind. And I feel like I’ve been in preparation ever since, so it was a breeze! It was a total pleasure.”
The show follows four kids – played by Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, Robert Timothy Smith and Ryan Kiera Armstrong – who make a strange discovery on their planet that they believe is a lost Jedi temple, but instead find what appears to be a crashed starship. They get lost in the galaxy and find themselves on an adventure with Nawood (Law).
“They like to say it’s as much for kids as Clone Wars, and I’m like ‘Well, we cut people’s heads off in Clone Wars, so I’m not sure if that’s the measurement you’re looking for,” executive producer Dave Filoni joked.
He added: “Star Wars is for kids anyway, we’re all big kids, I loved it since I was a kid and I’m still gonna love it when I’m much older.”
The series will also be executive produced by The Mandalorian‘s Jon Favreau and is due for release on Disney+ on December 3.
Meanwhile, Law recently opened up about turning down the role of Superman in the early 2000s.
