Star Wars: Skeleton Crew premieres very soon and we have the runtime of the opening two episodes plus the latest promos for the series. The next Star Wars based Disney+ series premieres December 3rd and now we have the runtimes for the first two episodes. I will say, that whilst this is not official information, this source (Cryptic HD) has literally never been wrong on runtimes. Take that as you will.

The premiere consists of these first two episodes, so I do wonder if there are perhaps some credits to be added in between that were not sent as screeners? Either way we are looking at standard length for Star Wars and Marvel TV series. I do lament that mandate by Disney on many properties. However, with Skeleton Crew clearly being aimed for at kids/families, perhaps not a bad call here?

Meanwhile showrunners Jon Watt and Chris Ford recently spoke to The HoloFiles and had this to say.
“Our aim is we want it to be for people who don’t know anything about Star Wars and just want to watch a good show, because it’s a great entry show,” Ford remarked. “But we also want it to be for super fans like us, and we try to make it work on both levels.”
“When we came up with the idea for the show, the main characters were kids, but we were just wanting to tell a story and the story was full of danger and adventure, because they were lost in the Star Wars galaxy,” Ford explained. “So, you know, if someone else had been making it and I heard about it, I would definitely want to watch it as a grown adult man, but I also knew that it would be something I’d be excited to watch with my kids.”
Watts also explained why they set this show during the events of the current MandoVerse, i.e. The Mandalorian, Ahsoka etc.
“We liked the idea that that time in the galaxy is a little bit less settled,” Watts said. “Things are a little more up in the air and, if you’re going to pick a time to have a group of kids get lost in the galaxy and there’s not really going to be anyone there that can rescue them and bring them home, this felt like the right time.”
What do you think of their comments, the runtime of the opening two episodes, or the latest promos for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew? Thoughts below.
