According to Hulu, there is over 350 hours of Star Wars content. It sounds like you have a lot of catching up to do (Popverse can help with that).

However, you don’t need to be familiar with any of that to watch the next Star Wars television series. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is an upcoming series which is expected to stream on Disney+ later this year. The series is the brainchild of Christopher Ford and Jon Watts, the director behind Tom Holland’s Spider-Man trilogy.

Speaking to a crowd at CCXP Mexico City 2024, Watts revealed some details about the storyline.

"It’s about a group of kids that find a buried spaceship on their boring planet. They accidentally turn it on, get blasted off into the galaxy, and it’s the story about them trying to find their way back home.”

Since the storyline is being told from the kids’ perspective, you can watch Skeleton Crew without having ever seen any other Star Wars movies or television shows.

“You don’t need to have any prior Star Wars knowledge to enjoy it, but if you do, you can enjoy it on many levels.”

Of course, the television show will have adult characters too.

“Jude Law is in it too, and he’s great,” Watts said with excitement.

According to Lucasfilm, Law will be a Force-user, and the series will take place sometime after Return of the Jedi. Other than that, Watts wasn’t sure what he could say without getting in trouble.
