Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.
~4 min read · Ch. 1 of 6
The twin suns of At Attin set the stage for four children who never expected to leave their home. Wim, Fern, KB, and Neel stumble upon a secret that sends them hurtling across the galaxy. They find themselves stranded on strange worlds without a map or a ship. The planet they knew becomes a distant memory as they face pirates and alien creatures. A Force-user named Jod Na Nawood appears in their path with a pirate crew. His charm helps them survive encounters that would have ended their journey long ago. The children must rely on each other while navigating dangers they cannot understand. Their adventure begins not with a grand plan but with a simple mistake.
Amblin Style Development
Jon Watts approached Lucasfilm about creating an Amblin Entertainment-style coming-of-age story set in the Star Wars universe by early 2022. He had initially pitched the series as a film right after releasing Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017. Marvel Studios commitments delayed the project until he finished work on Spider-Man: Far From Home and No Way Home. Kathleen Kennedy explained that Watts wanted to tell stories inspired by The Goonies from 1985. Ford said Kennedy told them she never thought of Amblin films as being for kids. She viewed them as stories that just happen to be about kids going on adventures. This perspective inspired him to develop the show for audiences of all ages. The working title Grammar Rodeo referenced a Simpsons episode before the official announcement at Star Wars Celebration in May 2022.
