Disney's "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" features Colorado directors and premieres December 2

Disney's new series "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" premieres on December 2, featuring Colorado-born directors Jon Watts and Lee Isaac Chung. The show follows a group of kids on a Goonies-style adventure in the Star Wars universe. Watts pitched the series idea in 2017, focusing on children lost in space. The show aims to capture the spirit of George Lucas's original films while introducing fresh elements and a lighter tone compared to recent Star Wars series. Both directors draw inspiration from their Colorado roots, with Watts recalling childhood adventures and Chung expressing a deep connection to the state's landscapes. The series combines character-driven storytelling with the excitement of the Star Wars franchise.
