According to the official synopsis, “Skeleton Crew” “follows the journey of four children who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet and then become 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.”
Law stars as Jod Na Nawood, a Force user who is a possible Jedi. In his recent Variety In the cover story, Law said that making “Skeleton Crew” was a “really interesting process.”
“It’s technically complicated to get those things right – you’re dealing with animatronics and puppets and machines and huge, complicated worlds.” he said. “I’m the guy who wants to see how the wizard does it.”
The series also stars Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Kyriana Kratter, Robert Timothy Smith, Tunde Adebimpe, Kerry Condon and Nick Frost. Episode directors include Jon Watts, David Lowery, the Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), Jake Schreier, Bryce Dallas Howard and Lee Isaac Chung.
Watts and Christopher Ford are head writers and also serve as executive producers alongside Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson. Co-executive producers include Chris Buongiorno, Karen Gilchrist and Carrie Beck, with Susan McNamara and John Bartnicki also producing.
