Disney+ has recently announced that their brand new Star Wars series will be launched earlier than initially scheduled. The premiere of Skeleton Crew was set to debut on the streaming platform on December 3, but it will now be available a day sooner.
However, only the first two episodes will be released initially, with fans having to wait for the remaining instalments. The rest of the eight-part series will be rolled out weekly.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is billed as an adventure series, catering to both younger viewers and adult fans of the universe originally conceived by George Lucas. It charts the journey of four children who stumble upon a mysterious find on their seemingly secure home planet.
They soon find themselves lost in a bizarre and perilous galaxy. Their quest to return home – encountering unexpected allies and foes along the way – promises to be a grander adventure than they ever envisaged.
Jude Law is set to play one of these allies, appearing to portray a Jedi or at least a force user, reports Wales Online.
Fans are keen to see if the show will meet expectations and align more with The Mandalorian, following mixed responses to recent releases like The Acolyte. Here’s when you can start tuning into Skeleton Crew, the number of episodes, and the complete Disney+ schedule.
As previously noted, the first two episodes will be launched together in the wee hours of December 3, with subsequent episodes released weekly. Here’s the full Disney+ schedule and release times:
Please note that while the episodes will become available in the early hours UK time, they are viewable in the US. So, 2am on a Wednesday in the UK corresponds to 9pm in places like New York, Indiana, and Florida.
This means fans should exercise caution when browsing social media, as American viewers may have already seen the latest episodes before British fans have even had their breakfast.
It appears that fans might need to carve out some time on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day to catch up on the newest episodes. Occasionally, Disney+ alters their schedules, so these dates and times are subject to change.
