The shows — headlined by Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and Netflix’s The Residence (produced by Shonda Rhimes) — are on track to spend a total of $713 million in California during production. They’re projected to generate a combined $468.2 million in qualified spending. (defined as wages to below-the-line workers and payments to in-state vendors.)
*  *  *
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is forecasted to account for the largest qualified spend of the seven series, with nearly $136 million in expenditures during its first season. The show, which was awarded $20.9 million in credits, follows a group of lost kids trying to find their way home. The new addition to the expanding Star Wars universe starring Jude Law and directed by Spider-Man trilogy director Jon Watts is slated for a 2023 Disney+ release.

Everything Everywhere All at Once Oscar Winners Directed Jude Law's Upcoming Star Wars Series (Report)

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew — which was first teased back in May 2022 and hails from Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts and Spider-Man: Homecoming writer Chris Ford — stars Jude Law (The Third Day) and is set during the post-Return of the Jedi reconstruction following the Empire’s demise (same as The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and the upcoming Ahsoka series).

On track for a 2023 premiere (at least, the last we heard….), Skeleton Crew follows a group of kids lost in the Star Wars galaxy, trying to find their way home. Yet while it mainly stars and is about tweenagers, Skeleton Crew is “as much for kids as The Clone Wars,” exec producer Dave Filoni made clear at last year’s Star Wars Celebration.

Little else is known about the new live-action Star Wars series, other than it reportedly wrapped filming in January of this year. But now comes (unconfirmed) word via One Take News that EEAAO‘s Daniels — also known as Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, who just last week collected three Oscars, for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Directing — helmed at least one episode of the new Star Wars series.

There is something about this poster that looks like classic vintage Star Wars and I can't quite describe what it is. I am not the target audience, but I am still looking forward to this series. 

There are multiple specific elements here made to intentionally ape those old posters.  Character positioning/grouping is the big one

I’ve seen speculation that a live-action Hondo Ohnaka will appear in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. True or false? –Corey

Spoiler

A freighter resembling Hondo’s was spotted in the distance at Port Borgo in Episode 2, but series creators Chris Ford and Jon Watts confirmed for me that we won’t be meeting the Clone Wars pirate. “We’ll rip off that Band-Aid and say no, we don’t have any Hondo,” Ford told TVLine. “Honestly, we love Hondo, but there wasn’t really a part in our story that offered a good enough role for him. Like, if we were trying to cast him in this, he would be like, ‘This part is not big enough for Hondo!'” Which is not to say Skeleton Crew, in success, won’t ever feature the interstellar buccaneer. “We would love to keep doing this,” Ford said, “and keep exploring the whole pirate side of the galaxy, and build up to that.”

11 | Why didn’t Disney+ release Star Wars: Skeleton Crew in time for the long Thanksgiving weekend, since the series absolutely screams for family co-viewing? (Did a Disney suit not want to offer rugrats a Moana 2 alternative?) For that matter, why drop episodes at 9 pm at night each week?

18 | In the Star Wars: Skeleton Crew premiere, did Wim’s dad seem to find him pretty quickly, considering that that gulch was a long speeder bike ride away from home? And we know it’s early goings yet, but is the smart money on Jude Law’s character being the disgraced pirate from the series’ cold open?
