We may have only just got them, but the heroes of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will grow up right before our eyes, both on and off the show.
For the first time in Star Wars’ long history, the new Skeleton Crew series stars a young group of kids as they explore the galaxy trying to find their way home. It’s clearly a deliberate choice to echo old 80s movies like The Goonies, but it does present some real world logistical problems—namely, kids grow so fast before you know it, especially when they shot something a year or more before it actually comes out.
Series creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford touched on the aging problem in a recent Collider interview. There’s no word on if Skeleton Crew will come back for season two, but they said if it does, they know they want to do for the story and the show’s growing stars.
