Jude Law joins Star Wars: Skeleton Crew #starwars #starwarscelebration
Expect a lot of Star Wars news over the next few days and things got interesting right away as Star Wars: Skeleton Crew was revealed and it will star… Jude Law!?
Produced by Jon Watts, Christopher Ford, Jon Favreau, and Dave Filoni, the series will stream on Disney+ starting in 2023.
From one big franchise to another, Jude Law, who plays young Albus Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beastsfilms is set to be joining the cast of Star Wars as one of the lead roles in the new Disney Plus show Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.
This new series will be set after George Lucas’ original Star Wars trilogy, and Jon Watts, one of the executive producers, began working on it just before Star Wars Celebration 2022 began.

From executive producers Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home), Christopher Ford (Spider-Man: Homecoming), Jon Favreau (Iron Man, the live-action versions of The Jungle BookandThe Lion King, and The Mandalorian), and Dave Filoni (Avatar: The Last Airbender,The Mandalorian, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars), the series follows a group of young children after they get lost on a planet and try to make their way back home.
With this focus on a younger group of actors, Law, who is the only confirmed cast member so far, adds a slice of stardom to the cast that could potentially contain some unknown young actors.
The question is, what role will Law’s character play in the series? Has he been cast as a good or evil character? Will he have a part to play in helping the group of children return home, will he be an antagonist who gets in their way, or will he perhaps be someone fans are already familiar with from within the franchise?
Unless more plot and character details are revealed (which we hope will be), we’ll have to wait until 2023 to discover the full extent of Law’s character in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.
