Actor Jude Law and showrunner Jon Favreau also gave fans a look at the first trailer for "Skeleton Crew," which focuses on a group of children traveling the galaxy and trying to find their way home.

At 2022's Star Wars Celebration, where the series was first announced, Dave Filoni made sure to clarify that although it was a show starring kids, it was not a kids' show. Jude Law appears as a Jedi in the trailer with a shaved head.

Favreau confirmed that many notable names will be directing episodes of "Skeleton Crew," including the newly minted Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (known collectively as The Daniels), as well as Bryce Dallas Howard, Jon Watts, David Lowery, Lee Isaac Chung, and Jake Schreier.
