With just a few weeks to go until the release of the new Star Wars series, “Skeleton Crew”, Disney has released a new roundtable video featuring the award-winning filmmakers of the show, Jon Watts, Christopher Ford, Jake Schreier, Bryce Dallas Howard and David Lowery.

During the roundtable, the filmmakers take a deep dive into the series and discuss their inspirations and visions that fueled bringing it to life.

Head writers and executive producers Watts and Ford pulled together a “crew” of their own when they set off to find a cadre of directors to helm the space-adventure series. And what they found were some of Hollywood’s most talented and exciting directors whose grasp of storytelling through the lens has made them standouts. In addition to Watts, who directed two episodes, the remaining episodes of “Skeleton Crew” are helmed by Lee Isaac Chung, known for “Twisters”; David Lowery who helmed “The Green Knight”; “The Mandalorian”’s Bryce Dallas Howard; Jake Schreier, who recently wrapped the upcoming “Thunderbolts*”; and the Daniels, who rose to fame with the Academy Award-winning“Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

In this video, the filmmakers as they discuss “Skeleton Crew” and showcase scenes from Lucasfilm’s newest adventure, which 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. Finding their way home—and meeting unlikely allies and enemies—will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined. 

Check out the roundtable video below:

The series stars Jude Law, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Kyriana Kratter, Robert Timothy Smith, Tunde Adebimpe, Kerry Condon and Nick Frost. Episodes are directed by Jon Watts, David Lowery, the Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) Jake Schreier, Bryce Dallas Howard and Lee Isaac Chung.

Jon Watts and Christopher Ford are the head writers and also serve as executive producers along with Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson. Chris Buongiorno, Karen Gilchrist and Carrie Beck are the co-executive producers, and Susan McNamara and John Bartnicki are the producers.
