Star Wars: Skeleton Crew has finally set a release window for its highly-anticipated premiere later this year.
There has been a lot of anticipation for the upcoming Star Wars series which will be a coming-of-age story that is set around the same time frame as The Mandalorian and the other live-action shows.
So far, the plot details are being kept under wraps, but the series will star Oscar nominees Jude Law and Kerry Condon and feature an ensemble of young actors.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew to Premiere Around Christmas This Year
In his recent convention interview, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew co-creator Jon Watts revealed that the upcoming series will premiere on Disney+ around Christmas time this year.
No exact date has been given yet for the premiere and it is likely that it will be announced in the coming months leading up to the holiday season.
Watts also shared more details about the making of the series where he revealed that he blended the use of modern technology and classic filmmaking techniques.
"I got to use all the cool stuff on my most recent Star Wars show. We had pre-viz, MOCAP, we shot on the volume, we did everything. But the most fun part was we also used all the old school techniques as well," he said.
"We got Phil Tippett to do stop-motion. We did matte paintings, like real old-fashioned matte paintings. We got an ILM painter out of retirement to come out and do that. So to me, all that stuff is fun, but it's just another tool, and it depends on how you use it."
This is an exciting update for the show's release as we finally have a more concrete idea of when it is coming to Disney+. Star Wars fans can now start creating plans for the holiday season now that we know that a new series is coming around that period.
It is also intriguing to hear that the team is using old-school techniques for the series which is a sign that certain elements will harken back to the style of the original trilogy.
For now, fans should anticipate more news and updates about the series in the coming months as we're still far ways off from its release window.
