Creators plan time skip for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew to align with young cast's aging

The new Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew, features a young cast of kids on a quest to find their way home. Creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford acknowledge the challenge of the actors aging quickly during production. To address this, they plan a time skip of three to four years if the show returns for a second season. This approach aims to keep the characters' ages aligned with the actors. Watts and Ford have always intended for a time skip, noting it allows for character development and avoids issues seen in other series. They believe this will benefit both the kids and the audience.
