We ’re still over a calendar month until the debut ofthe nextStar Warsshow , Skeleton Crew , but the crew itself finished a long , farseeing time ago . In a new interview with one of the show ’s stars , Jude Law , it ’s mention he filmed the show in 2022 and 2023 , which might posea hardheaded problemfor the future of the serial .
Skeleton Crewfollows a grouping of kidswho find a spaceship andride it off into an adventure . Along the way they scarper into a potential Jedi , Jod Na Nawood ( Law ) , who impacts that journey in some way . And no matter what that risky venture is , where it ends up , or how it impacts theStar Warsuniverse , Law think the fact the kids will be several years old by the meter a second season could potentially happen might cause a problem . “ The Thomas Kid were at an geezerhood where you leave six month and they grow four inches , ” he toldVarietyin a career - spanning profile .
This was an issue Netflix ran into withStranger Things . After the surprisal success of the show ’s first time of year in 2016 , everyone experience the show would continue . But though a relatively short amount of time has passed for its character , it ’s almost a decade later in real life . By the time that show ’s 5th and final time of year debuts in 2025 , the “ kid actors ” will all literally be adults .

Which seems barbaric considering George Lucas has always enounce it was a franchise for 12 - year - old . But will citizenry of all age love catch 12 - twelvemonth - olds in a galaxy far , far , away ? And , after Disney root for the plug onThe Acolyteso presently after its first season , willSkeleton Crewhave a likewise shortsighted terzetto ? We ’ll receive out starting December 3 .
