Watts teased the show's plot during the 2022 Star Wars Celebration. According to Entertainment Weekly, he said, "It's a story about a group of kids, about 10 years old, from a tiny little planet who accidentally get lost in the Star Wars galaxy. And it's the story of their journey trying to find their way home." Watts added that centering the series on kids will offer fans a "different perspective" of the Star Wars universe that we haven't seen before.
However, Filoni made sure to emphasize that "Skeleton Crew" will be just as dark as the other Star Wars series. "It's as much of a kids' show as 'Clone Wars.' And I'm like, we cut people's heads off in 'Clone Wars,' so I'm not sure that's the best measure," he said.
During the 2023 Celebration, it was confirmed that the series will take place after "Return of the Jedi," the same time period in which "The Mandalorian" (pictured here) is set, Variety reported.
