Confirmation dans le récent article de Vanity Fair sur l'avenir de Star Wars au grand écran comme sur le petit écran d'une nouvelle série télévisée en chantier !
Le titre de travail est Grammar Rodeo.
La série, créée et co-produite par Jon Watts, se déroulera après le Retour du Jedi, durant la même période que The Mandalorian.
Chris Ford s'est vu confier l'écriture du scénario.
Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert have leapt from the multiverse to a galaxy far, far away. The Oscar-winning directing duo, known as Daniels, have helmed an episode of the upcoming “Star Wars” series “Skeleton Crew” for Disney+.
After kicking off filming last summer, production has reportedly wrapped in recent months. While the complete list of directors on “Skeleton Crew” remains unannounced, sources indicate that Daniels helmed one episode of the upcoming season.
“Skeleton Crew” stars Jude Law and is created by Jon Watts. While most narrative details remain under wraps, the Disney+ series will take place in the New Republic era, following the events of 1983’s “Return of the Jedi.” “The Mandalorian” team of Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni serve as executive producers.
Daniels completed principal photography on their episode of “Skeleton Crew” before the duo became Oscar winners earlier this month, taking home trophies for original screenplay, director and best picture. The A24 comedy completed a dominant awards season run at the Academy Awards, nabbing seven trophies, including best actress for Michelle Yeoh, best supporting actor for Ke Huy Quan, best supporting actress for Jamie Lee Curtis and best editing.
Even before awards season kicked into high gear and the duo emerged as Oscar frontrunners, Daniels inked a five-year deal with Universal in August 2022. The agreement, which includes “Everything Everywhere” producer Jonathan Wang, reflected the remarkable success of the multiverse comedy, which was the first independent film to clear a $100 million global gross at the box office after the onset of the COVID pandemic.
“Skeleton Crew” is set to debut on Disney+ later this year.
Franchement, ça rassure fortement de tels noms à la barre !

Kathleen Kennedy a déclaré que la série Skeleton Crew met en vedette des enfants et est définitivement une excellente porte d'accès à l'Univers Star Wars pour ces derniers, mais la série n'est pas seulement réalisée à l'attention des enfants, elle peut également être suivie avec plaisir par les adolescents, jeunes adultes et adultes fans de la saga.

There are a slew of new Star Wars series on tap for Disney+. But while Ahsoka promises to pick up where Star Wars Rebels left off, and The Acolyte will take audiences on a martial-arts-infused trip back to the waning days of the High Republic, many fans aren't quite sure what to expect from a third upcoming series, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.
The entry from Jon Watts and Chris Ford has been billed by Watts as "a story about a group of kids, about 10 years old, from a tiny little planet who accidentally get lost in the Star Wars galaxy. And it's the story of their journey trying to find their way home."
Many references to Amblin and kid-centric movies of the 1980s like E.T. and The Goonies have been made, with executive producer Jon Favreau telling EW that "With [Amblin co-founder] Kathy Kennedy running Lucasfilm, when John Watts and Chris Ford come in and talked about wanting to do something that feels like an Amblin movie and has that tone, it's like you're speaking right to the person who was there and knows the 11 herbs and spices that go into it."
So who exactly is Skeleton Crew for? Kids? Adults? Both? We got some guidance when star Jude Law and co-creator Ford stopped by EW's Dagobah Dispatch podcast to chat about the new show — and what kind of tone we should expect.

"Skeleton Crew's tone is an adventure," Ford says. "We wanted it to be a lot of fun. But of course, along with adventure comes the downside of it, which is danger. And when the kids are in danger, it's extra fraught. So we played with that, but overall we wanted it to be just a fun adventure."
As for whether the show is specifically targeting younger audiences with its pint-size cast, Ford notes, "Hopefully it can be for all ages. When we told Kathy Kennedy about that we wanted to go for that Amblin tone, which she perfected over the years, what she would say is that they never thought of those as movies for kids. They just happen to be about kids, a story of a kid going on an adventure. So it could be for anyone."
As for the adult in the room — or on the screen, as it were — Law will neither confirm nor deny that he's playing a Jedi… though his character does levitate an object in the trailer shown at Star Wars Celebration in April. "I can't tell you very much about my character," the actor says. "He is someone the children meet on their attempt to get home. He is like a lot of the world that they experience: contradictory, and at times a place of nurture and other times a place of threat."

It's that balance between light and dark — much like the Force itself — that Law believes will propel the show forward. "Because it's through their eyes," he says of the younger characters (played by Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, Robert Timothy Smith, and Ryan Kiera Armstrong), "at times there's a sort of goofy nature and a goofy relationship between the kids and the adults. And then other times it's really quite dark and quite scary, which I guess is what the world probably looks like to an awful lot of 11-year-olds."
While Law has also done time in some other big franchises — namely Marvel and Harry Potter — for him, Star Wars is much more personal. "Star Wars, for me, held a very particular place because it was as much a part of my childhood as going to school," he says. "Literally as far back as I remember, I remember having Star Wars in my life. It was the toys I played with, it was the toys I envied my friends had. I remember one of them having an AT-AT walker and I was never going to get given an AT-AT, so I'd go over and play at his house so I could use the AT-AT walker."
In fact, Law credits getting into his current profession due to his love of playing out scenes from Star Wars movies: "Probably the reason I started acting was running around a playground pretending to be Luke or Han or Chewbacca or Vader — that literally was what I was playing and acting as a child. And so being in it is both kind of surreal and seems very second-nature in some ways. And then also slightly out of body."

“What if we could go anywhere we want in the whole galaxy?”
This December, we’re ready to get lost in space on a new Star Wars quest asking exactly that.
Today at D23 we got our first look at Skeleton Crew with the first trailer and key art introducing the curious protagonists: Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), KB (Kyriana Kratter), Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), and their motley crew: the mysterious and enigmatic Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law) and the droid SM-33 (voiced by Nick Frost), the decrepit first mate of the Onyx Cinder. The cast also includes Tunde Adebimpe and Kerry Condon.
The series, created by Spider-Man Homecoming director Jon Watts and writer Christopher Ford, who also serve as the showrunners, follows along as the kids get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy and have to find their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies along the way.
We would follow them to the ends of the galaxy.
"At its core it's a story about wanting to explore a world that's bigger than your own," Watts tells StarWars.com. "I think that's something that people can relate to, no matter how old you are."
"And setting a new group of characters off on their first adventure is fascinating, especially getting to see how they will grow over time," adds Ford.
From the quiet calm of the bucolic streets and classrooms of their homeworld to the wider galaxy in the era of the New Republic, it looks like we’re in for a wild ride. The tantalizing trailer ends with a simple gesture: a floating key levitated into Jod’s hands.
As Wim puts it: “A real adventure!” Count us in!
Individual episodic directors are Jon Watts, David Lowery, the Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), Jake Schreier, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Lee Isaac Chung. The season was written by Christopher Ford and Jon Watts, with two episodes by Myung Joh Wesner. The series is executive produced by Christopher Ford, Jon Watts, Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson, along with co-executive producers Chris Buongiorno, Karen Gilchrist, Carrie Beck and producers Susan McNamara and John Bartnicki.
Rewatch the trailer now and then prepare for launch when Star Wars: Skeleton Crew premieres December 3, 2024 on Disney+.
J'aime décidément beaucoup le concept et la bande-annonce est vraiment sympa ! Hâte d'en voir davantage.

Je ne suis absolument pas convaincue, surtout après avoir détesté les dernières séries live action Star Wars (Ahsoka, The Acolyte). Ça assume l'inspiration avec des films comme Les Goonies. Sauf que si ces films fonctionnent, c'est parce qu'ils se déroulent dans le monde réel. On se reconnaît donc à travers les personnages des enfants, qui doivent réagir avec leur point de vue d'enfants normaux à une situation fantastique. Mais là, des enfants vivant dans le monde de Star Wars, comment s'identifier à eux ?
Creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford explain why they are playing with a part of the galaxy that has a "resurgence of piracy."
Argh, there be pirates! And we’ve got the photo to prove it.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will tell the tale of four children who discover a secret and then get into a series of adventures as they attempt find a way back to their home planet. And it seems their journey will pit them against some fearsome foes — namely, pirates.
Entertainment Weekly has the exclusive first look at these space pirates below (as well as another exclusive image of Jude Law's Jod Na Nawood and the show’s four pint-sized heroes), and also spoke to Skeleton Crew creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford about this potential hive of scum and villainy.
“Those are pirates!” confirms Ford of the photo subjects above. “Space pirates.”
And not just any space pirates, but that is none other than Urkel himself, Jaleel White, looking vaguely cyborg-esque as Gunter. To the left of Gunter is a pesky character Star Wars fans may recognize: the unsavory Vane (Marti Matulis), who gave Din Djarin and Greef Karga such a hard time on The Mandalorian. Rounding out this not-so-merry band of pirates to the right of Gunter is Brutus (voiced by Fred Tatasciore and played by performance artist Stephan Oyoung), Pax (performance artist: Mike Estes), and Chaelt (Orange is the New Black's Dale Soules).
With Skeleton Crew taking place in the same time frame as shows like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka — after the fall of the second Death Star, and before the rise of the First Order — that means that there is a lack of what one might call Imperial enforcement. Naturally, that allows nefarious forces to thrive. “With the era we're in, we're kind of getting to play with that lawless thing,” says Ford. “The Empire is gone, and so we're playing with a part of the galaxy that has a resurgence of piracy.”
Pirates played a role in season 3 of The Mandalorian, as folks like Gorian Shard and Vane created chaos on Nevarro, and now it appears we will meet more unscrupulous characters of the same ilk. “Pirates are talked about so much in Star Wars,” Ford notes. “People would call Han Solo a pirate and he'd be like, ‘How dare you?’ And we've seen some awesome pirates in the animated shows. So this was something where both [executive producers] Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau were really excited to do more pirate stuff.”
Exploring the edges of wild space is something that co-creator Watts is excited to do, not just due to his love of Star Wars, but also because of his love of a certain LucasArts video game series that dates all the way back to 1990. “I'm also a big fan of Monkey Island,” says Watts. “That's also classic Lucas. So somewhere between Star Wars pirates and Monkey Island pirates. I think we found our sweet spot.”
Finding the sweet spot was something Watts and Ford were looking to do for the series as a whole, as they created an entirely new world within the already pre-existing one of Star Wars — a world with certain rules that can’t be broken. “What's great about working at Lucasfilm is that they'll let you know if you've gone outside of the boundaries,” Watts says. “Dave Filoni is our goalkeeper.”
And Watts means that literally of the creative visionary overseeing the Star Wars streaming galaxy. “He actually is a great hockey player, but he's also a figurative goalkeeper. We will come up with ideas of things that we like, and then he'll be like, ‘Actually, maybe it's this.’ Or, ‘Oh, we already did something like that somewhere else.’ And you always end up with a bunch of other episodes of Star Wars to go watch and things to go read, and it's good. You feel like you can safely explore things creatively without making some huge canonical mistake.”
Adds Ford: “And he gets both sides of that because he did that [mentoring under] George Lucas. So he gets that thing of, ‘I want to make a whole new kind of a Jedi,’ and then someone being like, ‘Okay, hold on. A lot of people have thought about this. Let's do this the right way.’ And it's so helpful.”
Even when it comes to pirates.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew premieres Tuesday, Dec. 3, on Disney+.
