Skeleton Crew image features Jaleel White

Jaleel White is a cyborg area pirate in a brand new image from Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the upcoming live-action collection coming to Disney+.

With The Acolyte having come and gone (to not point out getting cancelled), the stage is ready for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the following live-action Star Wars collection on Disney+. Entertainment Weekly has dropped a few new photographs from Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, which features a have a look at Jaleel White (Urkel!) as an area pirate!

Jaleel White performs Gunter, the cyborg-looking character seen above. He’s flanked by Vane (Marti Matulis), who you would possibly acknowledge from The Mandalorian, in addition to Brutus (voiced by Fred Taatasciorce and performed by Stephen Oyoung), Pax (Mike Estes), and Chaelt (Dale Soules). “Those are pirates!“ Skeleton Crew co-creator Christopher Ford confirmed to EW. “Space pirates.“

While we’ve seen pirates in Star Wars earlier than, it sounds as if they are going to be extra closely featured in Skeleton Crew. “With the era we’re in, we’re kind of getting to play with that lawless thing,” Ford mentioned. “The Empire is gone, and so we’re playing with a part of the galaxy that has a resurgence of piracy. Pirates are talked about so much in Star Wars. People would call Han Solo a pirate and he’d be like, ‘How dare you?’ And we’ve seen some awesome pirates in the animated shows. So this was something where both [executive producers] Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau were really excited to do more pirate stuff.”

The official synopsis for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew: “The series follows the journey of four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, then get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy, crossing paths with the likes of Jod Na Nawood, the mysterious character played by Law. Finding their way home—and meeting unlikely allies and enemies—will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined.” Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Kyriana Kratter, and Robert Timothy Smith play the younger children, with Jude Law enjoying the mysterious Force person generally known as Jod Na Nawood. The first trailer for the upcoming Star Wars collection was launched at D23 this summer time, which had a really Amblin vibe.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will premiere on Disney+ on December third.
