At the Star Wars Celebration 2022 event in Anaheim, California, Disney and Lucasfilm officially announced a new original series set in the Star Wars franchise — Star Wars: Skeleton Crew — and Jude Law is the first actor officially announced to star in the series.

Jude Law is best known for 1999’s The Talented Mr. Ripley and 2003’s Cold Mountain, which got him two nominations for the Academy Awards, although he didn’t win for either of those movies. He also starred in the MCU movie Captain Marvel as the antagonist Yon-Rogg, the Sherlock Holmes movies starring Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. John Watson, and the Fantastic Beasts franchise, in which he played young Albus Dumbledore.

“Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, an Original series starring Jude Law, from executive producers Jon Watts, Christopher Ford, Jon Favreau, and Dave Filoni, is streaming in 2023 only on @DisneyPlus.”

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
