Skeleton Crew follows a bunch of children who discover a spaceship and journey it off into an journey. Alongside the way in which they run into a possible Jedi, Jod Na Nawood (Regulation), who impacts that journey indirectly. And it doesn’t matter what that journey is, the place it finally ends up, or the way it impacts the Star Wars universe, Regulation thinks the very fact the youngsters will likely be a number of years older by the point a second season might probably occur may trigger an issue. “The youngsters had been at an age the place you permit six months they usually develop 4 inches,” he advised Selection in a career-spanning profile.
This was a difficulty Netflix bumped into with Stranger Issues. After the shock success of the present’s first season in 2016, everybody knew the present would proceed. However although a comparatively quick period of time has handed for its characters, it’s virtually a decade later in actual life. By the point that present’s fifth and remaining season debuts in 2025, the “child actors” will all actually be adults.

However, Regulation thinks, it’d turn out to be a priority. io9 reached out to Lucasfilm for remark and can replace this piece if or after we hear again.

Which appears wild contemplating George Lucas has at all times mentioned it was a franchise for 12-year-olds. However will folks of all ages take pleasure in watching 12-year-olds in a galaxy far, far, away? And, after Disney pulled the plug on The Acolyte so quickly after its first season, will Skeleton Crew have a equally quick leash? We’ll discover out beginning December 3.
