Will the kids on Star Wars: Skeleton Crew finally find their home this week?
We are rapidly approaching Episode 4 of the latest Disney+ series set in the Star Wars galaxy, and it has become increasingly evident, particularly through insightful interviews like the one from Decider with the creators of the show, that things are about to become even more intricate from this point onwards.
The story revolves around four youngsters from the planet of At Attin – KB (Kyriana Kratter), Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), and Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) – who accidentally find themselves hurtling through hyperspace after chancing upon an abandoned spacecraft. As they soon realize that their home planet is shrouded in mystery to the rest of the universe, the task of finding their way back becomes anything but simple.
Throughout their adventure, they meet both allies and adversaries, including the character portrayed by Jude Law, Jod Na Nawood, whose intentions remain shrouded in mystery, as they strive to return safely to At Attin. The journey ahead is bound to be challenging, with even the co-creators, Jon Watts and Christopher Ford, acknowledging that the road back home for these young wanderers will be arduous.
“The kids get into deeper and deeper trouble over the course of the season, that’s for sure,” Watts joked while chatting with Decider.
Now, it’s all about how they get in trouble, specifically in Episode 4. That’s why we’ve gone ahead and put together a little guide of everything to know about the new episode. Keep reading to get the answers to all of your most pressing Skeleton Crew questions.
Yes. A new episode of Skeleton Crew hits Disney+ at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday. New episodes release weekly at this time. If you are waiting to watch all of the episodes, the entire first season will be available by January 14.
At the end of Episode 3, Disney+ dropped a promo for the forthcoming installment. The preview shows Jod attempting to come to an agreement with the kids on how to proceed with their partnership. Meanwhile, back on At Attin, the kids’ families seem to finally be waking up to the concept that the children may not just come back, but rather that efforts need to be made to go find them.
Watch the preview for Episode 4 in the player below:
The installment came to a close with Jod promising he would help get the kids home and playing just as coy as he did when they first met. In the final scenes, Jod — who exercised Force powers during his first appearance in the series — tells the kids that he “never really said” that he’s a Jedi and that he’s still not willing to answer their questions. Be mysterious then, Jod! The group barely escapes from X-wings who are chasing them and ride off into the starlight with no clear indication of where they’re going.
Aside from Law and the four kiddos at the helm of the (space) ship, the show stars Kerry Condon, Nick Frost, Tunde Adebimpe, and Jaleel White.
