The Daniels reportedly set to direct Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episode

Yet another brand new Star Wars show, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew boasts an impressive ensemble of younger stars, led by Dumbledore actor Jude Law. While an exact release date for the series is yet to be announced, fans should expect it to arrive at some point late in 2023.

The show is set nine years after the battle of Yavin, which places it five years after Return of the Jedi and starting at almost the same time as Season 1 of The Mandalorian. While some are worried this show will be more focused on a younger demographic, creator Jon Watts has already assured audiences that this “will not be a kid’s show.” 

Having the Daniels attached to the project is a major win, as the two have just found giant success thanks to their recent film Everything Everywhere All at Once winning seven Academy Awards during the 2023 Oscars.
