The first trailer for the next Star Wars show, Skeleton Crew, is finally here – and it’s full of mischief and adventure.

In the clip, which you can watch above, we see a bunch of kiddos get themselves into trouble, rescued by Jude Law’s Jod Na Nawood. They’re not out of the woods yet, though, with pirates on their tail. The trailer is soundtracked by retro-style electric music (“Major Tom (Coming Home)"), and we catch a glimpse of Jawas, lightspeed travel, and space battles – in short, it looks like a blast through the Star Wars galaxy.

So far, the series has been giving us major Amblin vibes, so we’re not surprised the latest trailer is keeping up the atmosphere.The first trailer debuted a few months ago, after originally screening behind closed doors atStar Wars Celebration 2023.Law recently said that the showis “very much a piece about working together and overcoming fears and overcoming… perhaps [one’s] opinion of oneself or one’s own weaknesses in order to succeed.”

Along with Law, Kerry Condon, Nick Frost, Tunde Adebimpe, and Jaleel White are part of the line-up, with the young cast consisting of Ravi Cabot-Conyers as Wim, Kryiana Kratter as KB, Robert Timothy Smith as Neel, and Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Fern.

MCU Spider-Man director Jon Watts and his frequent collaborator Christopher Ford created the show, and they executive produce along with Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson.
