Star Wars Skeleton Crew Sneak Peak

Skeleton Crew: The Galaxy's Newest Hope Lands December 3

Lucasfilm has announced that the live-action Star Wars series "Skeleton Crew" will premiere on December 3. The show follows four children lost in the galaxy, trying to find their way home. Jude Law stars as Jod Na Nawood, alongside child actors Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, Robert Timothy Smith, and Ryan Kiera Armstrong.

The series is described as joyful and filled with references to Star Wars lore. It explores themes of overcoming fears and teamwork, with the characters facing constant challenges. A notable element is the use of hover bikes, which provided both immersion and excitement for the actors.

Nick Frost voices SM 33, a cranky droid who aids the children. Showrunner Jon Watts emphasizes that while the show caters to Star Wars fans, it's also accessible to newcomers. The series is directed by a talented team including Watts, Bryce Dallas Howard, and the Daniels, among others.

Star Wars Outlaws Official Trailer

Star Wars Outlaws: The First Open-World Adventure in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Star Wars Outlaws is set to launch on August 30, 2024, earlier than the traditionally favored holiday release window. This exciting news comes from a "leaked" story trailer on the Ubisoft Japan YouTube channel, which has since been taken down, further hinting at the release date's authenticity. The game introduces players to Kay Vess, a cunning scoundrel navigating the galaxy's criminal underworld. Alongside her trusty creature companion, Nix, Kay aims to pull off daring heists and evade the clutches of the Ashiga Clan and Deathtroopers.

Set between "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi," Star Wars Outlaws promises to be the first-ever open-world game in the Star Wars universe, offering fans a chance to explore a rich, immersive galaxy. Players will traverse different planets, engage in space combat with The Empire, and pilot the upgradeable ship, The Trailblazer. With its focus on the galaxy's underbelly and a thrilling narrative devoid of Jedi, this game is set to captivate fans and newcomers alike.
