Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, Starring Jude Law, Directed by Jon Watts, Coming to Disney+ Hotstar in 2023

Jude Law joins Star Wars. Lucasfilm announced Thursday during the Star Wars Celebration 2022 event that a new Star Wars series will be coming to Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar sometime in 2023. This original series, named Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, will be directed by Jon Watts from Spider-Man: No Way Home fame. In fact, Watts directed the entire Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy. Watts is also the executive producer of the new Star Wars series with Christopher Ford, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. So far, only Law has been confirmed as a cast member for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.

Watts and Ford were at the Celebrations event on Thursday to shed some light on this upcoming series. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew would center on the journey of a group of 10-year-olds who must find their way home after getting lost in the Star Wars galaxy. Ford exclaimed that although the show features children, it is not necessarily aimed at young audiences. Watts added that Skeleton Crew aims to provide a “different perspective on the Star Wars universe.” The events of this series would take place at the same time as The Mandalorian and The Boba Fett Book, which would place the skeleton crew after Return of the Jedi on the Star Wars timeline.

Meanwhile, Ewan McGregor star Obi Wan Kenobi has already premiered on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar in India and globally on Friday.

Additionally, Lucasfilm has several other Star Wars shows in the works. There is Andor, which will be available to stream on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar in August. This show will follow the adventures of the rebel spy Cassian Andor played by Diego Luna.

Ahsoka, a spinoff of The Mandalorian, has also just started filming. Additionally, the mystery thriller series The Acolyte is slated for release in 2023.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will be available to stream on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar in 2023.
