‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ Gets Earlier Disney+ Premiere Date

Disney+ is moving up its Star Wars: Skeleton Crew premiere date — at least, by a little.

The latest Star Wars drama series will now premiere Monday, Dec. 2 at 6 p.m.

The show was previously slated to premiere Dec. 3. The remainder of the eight-episode season will premiere Tuesdays at 6 p.m.

Skeleton Crew is considered a more kids-targeted Star Wars adventure than some of Disney+’s earlier efforts (see trailer, below). The coming-of-age series “follows the journey of four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, then get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Finding their way home—and meeting unlikely allies and enemies—will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined.”

The series brings Jude Law into a galaxy far, far away as a mysterious Force user named Jod Na Nawood. The show also stars Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Kyriana Kratter, Robert Timothy Smith, Tunde Adebimpe, Kerry Condon and Nick Frost.

The episodes are directed by JonWatts, David Lowery, the Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) Jake Schreier, Bryce Dallas Howard and Lee Isaac Chung. Jon Watts and Christopher Ford are the head writers and also serve as executive producers along with Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson
