Star Wars: Skeleton Crew goes to be doing one thing very totally different with the Star Wars franchise and it’s going to have a unique vibe and tone than something we’ve seen Lucasfilm do earlier than.

Throughout an interview with co-creator Chris Ford, we be taught that the children within the story suppose the Jedi are fairy story characters.
He stated: “We wished to incorporate the concept these children had heard of Jedi and tales of fine versus evil within the type of means in our planet we now have fairy tales or King Arthur tales of the Knights of the Spherical Desk.”

So, Wim and his mates, they learn about Jedi, they’ve learn Jedi tales, they even do a faux lightsaber combat, however we had been very clear we didn’t wish to cross sure traces.
“Like once they faux to do the lightsaber [fight], they make the fallacious noise, as a result of they haven’t seen the films. They’ve by no means seen a lightsaber in actual life.
“So, it was like discovering methods to make it’s genuine to the Star Wars galaxy… Like their toys aren’t from Kenner, they’re extra like tin toys, like slightly extra quaint pre-commercialization type of a toy.”
I actually love what they’re doing with this! That can add an attention-grabbing layer to the story and it’s only a cool little element that I’m glad that they considered.
