What they’re saying:
- Jon Watts: “On the third Spider-Man, I was shooting with Jon Favreau. We were just talking and I gave him the very, very quick pitch, and he was like, ‘Would you want me to produce it? Is that cool? It would be me and Dave Filoni.’ And I was like, ‘Yes, Jon Favreau. That would be great.’”
- Bryce Dallas Howard: “I remember when I was working on season three of Mandalorian, the Third Floor team, who creates and animates all of the pre-viz, they were working on Skeleton Crew. And I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, how is it?’ And they were like, ‘It’s so good!’ And so there was already buzz on campus about it.”
- David Lowery: “It was a really easy yes. I mean, you told me the elevator pitch of the show, and then mentioned that Jude Law was going to be starring in it. And I feel like I had just left set like five minutes earlier making a movie with Jude and a bunch of kids [Peter Pan & Wendy]. And I was like, ‘Oh. This is going to be exceedingly comfortable.’”
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will debut with a two-episode premiere on Tuesday December 3rd, exclusively via Disney+.
