The future of Star Wars seems promising right now, given the slate of upcoming movies and Disney+ shows that will be released as time goes on. One of the most anticipated projects in the franchise is Skeleton Crew.
During his recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, one of the stars of the series, Jude Law, described the experience of working on the Star Wars set and weighed in on the genre that is heading in that direction.
When asked to describe Skeleton Crew, Law remarked that the show's overall aim and tone are a reference to Amblin Entertainment and the coming-of-age themes: “It’s got a little more, as they described it, ‘Amblin’ meaning it’s an adventure of kids but it’s not in a kid’s world. The jeopardy is real.”
The actor then went on to share his amusement with the different animatronics and puppeteers that can be seen on set. “The thing I underestimated was the experience of acting opposite droids and creatures, which of course, are all there. And so you get to work with — at times — five, six, seven puppeteers. And these people are masters.”

The Gattaca star also expressed a childlike joy at being part of the Star Wars show. “I’ve been very lucky. I’ve worked with some particularly respectable actors. But I’ve never been starstruck like I was when I met a Jawa … I saw a Jawa walking by and I was like, ‘I can’t believe it. It’s a real Jawa!'”
So far, the upcoming series has just wrapped filming. As announced, Jon Watts and Christopher Ford are the show’s co-creators, with Jon Favreau serving as an executive producer. They also unveiled the series' high-profile directors, including Daniels, Bryce Dallas Howard, and David Lowery.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is set to premiere anytime this year on Disney+.
