All Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Writers Revealed!

Posted on by

Looking for more news about Star Wars: Skeleton Crew? Well you have come to the right place! The full list of writers for the upcoming Disney Plus series have been unveiled.

Thanks to a listing on the Writers Guild of America site, it seems that most of the episodes will be co-written by Christopher Ford and showrunner Jon Watts, who handled the scripts of episodes 1-4 and 7-8. Also, Myung Joh Wesner will be receiving writing credit for episodes 5-6. Wesner has only one writing credit being an episode of the upcoming Hulu murder mystery series Career Opportunities in Murder and Mayhem.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will be directed by Watts, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, David Lowery, Jake Schreier, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Lee Isaac Chung. Skeleton Crew is described as an Amblin type film that follows a group of children lost in uncharted space. The series will hit Disney Plus at some point later this year, likely after the second season of Loki wraps up, which would put the series out in November and/or December.

Jon Watts in Talks to Direct an Upcoming Episode of a Star Wars Disney+ Show?

We have been hearing some incoming chatter coming across our various Imperial spies around the Outer Rim. Normally we would not disseminate this information to the denizens of the New Republic because we are unsure of the accuracy of the transmissions. However, we want to make sure that all information is on the table, so that you are not caught unaware in the galactic wilds! Remember to take everything below with a nice big helping of salt!

Discussing Film is reporting that Spider-Man: No Way Home Director Jon Watts is currently in talks with Lucasfilm about directing an upcoming episode or more of and upcoming Star Wars Disney+ series. The site also indicates that shooting will begin sooner than we might think.

The currently unannounced series is going under the working title of Grammar Rodeo with production slated to begin this Summer in Los Angeles. While we haven’t been able to gather any concrete information on who will be writing this new project, we’ve heard from a handful of sources that Jon Favreau will be executive producing. Favreau, of course, is an executive producer and writer on The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, and will soon be additionally credited as an executive producer on Ahsoka, which is at the moment in pre-production for a filming start within the next couple of months.

We have been speculating for a few days now on what the mysterious “Grammar Rodeo” titled production might be. I believe we currently have it narrowed down to a young adult type Star Wars: High Republic show. Think Stranger Things, but with the adultness toned down, set in the Star Wars universe.

In any case, it will be interesting to see what Jon Watts brings to the table of Star Wars, if he is indeed in talks to direct an episode or two of the series. In any case, shooting for this series is expected to start in June.

What do you think of this particular rumor? As alway, leave your thoughts in the proper places.
