Lee Isaac Chung, director of Skeleton Crew, has shared that the show will bring a childlike perspective to the Star Wars universe, bringing with it something a bit different.
On the Inside Total Film podcast and speaking with GamesRadar+, Chung teased what we can expect from the show. “I can’t wait for people to see this thing,” he says during our interview for Twisters. “It’s got a lot of Jon Watts in it, and anyone who’s a fan of what Jon Watts does – he’s very childlike in a beautiful way, in the way that he tells stories, and how he captures a childlike perspective in things. He brings that beautiful perspective to this story of young people in the Star Wars universe.”
Chung emphasizes that it promises something very different for the Star Wars universe. “I felt like I hadn’t seen this. When I read all of the scripts, and when I was looking at the design of what he was designing – he asked if I would be on board. It was a no-brainer for me once I saw what he was working on. And then, also, working with him on that show, and with Jude and all the incredible actors who we have – it was a lot of fun. We were just having fun all the time. The kids were incredible and great.
“What I hope is that it’s really going to touch families, and families are going to want to spend a lot of time with the show.”
Skeleton Crew is expected to arrive on Disney+ in late 2024.
