Skeleton Crew Images: Jude Law's Jod Na Nawood, Jaleel White's Gunter

Set to hit Disney+ screens on December 3rd, check out these new preview images for Lucasfilm's Jude Law-starring Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.

Though we still have some time to go before Disney+ & Lucasfilm's Jude Law-starring Skeleton Crew hits our screens, that also means that there's time to learn more about the streaming series – like being able to check out preview images like the ones that were released earlier today. Stemming from Jon Watts & Chris Ford – with Watts, Ford, Jon Favreau & Dave Filoni executive producing – the series is set to hit streaming screens on December 3rd with a two-episode premiere – and now, we're getting a close-up look at Law's Jod Na Nawood and a not-so-merry band of space pirates: Jaleel White's Gunter – who is joined in the full scene (though not all shown) by Vane (Marti Matulis), Brutus (voiced by Fred Tatasciore, played by Stephen Oyoung), Pax (played by Mike Estes), and Chaelt (Dale Soules).

In addition to Law and White, viewers can expect to see Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, Robert Timothy Smith, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Tunde Adebimpe, and Kerry Condon. Behind the camera, the lineup of directors for the season includes Jon Watts, David Lowery, The Daniels, Jake Schreier, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Lee Isaac Chung. Now, here's a look at the images that were released earlier today – followed by a look back at what EP Jon Favreau had to share about the series during the early days of production:

What Skeleton Crew, The Clone Wars Share In Common & More

In the following highlights from a previous episode of EW's Dagobah Dispatch, Favreau discussed how the series fits in the overall "Mandalorian" universe – and how the "Star Wars" universe is well-served by shows with different tones and styles as long as they stay true to core aspects of the franchise:

For Favreau, It's All About Establishing "Different Tones" for Each Series: "One of the things we really like about what the shows that we've been working on have turned into is that the tone of each episode — and in certain cases each series — really reflects the storyteller of the filmmaker. So in 'The Mandalorian', you could have many different tones. Even though the writing is consistent across them, different filmmakers will bring different perspectives. And so each episode hopefully feels different, though they should sit alongside one another. With 'Skeleton Crew,' I would go even further there because it's Watts and Ford and a whole array of wonderful directors — some have worked with us before, some who haven't. And so each episode has its own feel to it."

Favreau on What "Skeleton Crew" Needing to "Feel Like 'Star Wars'" Means to Him: "When people think of Star Wars as a genre, it really is a number of subgenres within the Star Wars genre. Because those were [George Lucas'] influences, so it could feel like a Western, it could feel like a World War II film, it could feel like a samurai film. And so you could push limits."

For Favreau, Dave Filoni's "The Clone Wars" Is a Perfect Example: "Especially on 'The Clone Wars,' they deviated into many different [genres] — to thrillers and to noir and different types of adventures and different tones. So that's what's keeping us engaged and why I'm continuing my collaboration here, is because it's never like you're just doing one thing. There's always room."

While "Skeleton Crew" & "The Mandalorian" Are Different, Favreau Sees Them Similar in One Key Way: "As long as you adhere to a certain aesthetic, and we all agree that it feels like it's Star Wars, there's a lot of room for how you can move around. It's interesting, too, as you see at the [Star Wars Celebration] panel and these great trailers, how different they all are. But they all sit together. You would never group them together, but thanks to the world that George created, they all feel like they share a common underlying aesthetic."
