A leaked video from the set of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew appears to reveal a speeder bike stunt that will be featured in the upcoming series. This is just the latest in a series of admittedly minor info leaks regarding the mysterious show, but probably the most exciting so far.
After the recent dump of set photos from both Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and Star Wars: The Acolyte, it looks as though production is in full swing based on this new video. A stunt performer, presumably for one of the main child actors, can be seen riding a rig resembling a speeder bike (the footage is understandably blurry) before abruptly skidding to a halt and flying off over the handlebars. It looks like a fairly standard stunt, but it could still offer some insight into what sort of show Skeleton Crew is shaping up to be.
Star Wars insider fan site Bespin Bulletin captured the footage, also alleging that they know who the character is supposed to be. According to them, they believe it's the character played by Encanto's Ravi Cabot-Conyers. This isn't just a shot in the dark, however. The educated guess comes from the outfit the stunt double is wearing, which appears to match the same outfit worn by Cabot-Conyers' character in the only official image released from Skeleton Crew.
It's unclear how accurate this information is, given how blurry both the official image and the leaked footage are. Lucasfilm is famously tight-lipped regarding its upcoming new projects, and Skeleton Crew is no different. Given how many questions Andor fans still have even after 4 well-received episodes, it looks like the company is pretty consistent with that practice. But Skeleton Crew may be a bit different than other Star Wars offerings.
While relatively little is still known about the series, it's been confirmed that it will center on a group of kids who get lost in the galaxy. The thing is, this was confirmed way back when Lucasfilm announced Jude Law was joining Skeleton Crew in a lead role. The only other substantial info revealed since then, aside from having Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts on board, has been from these leaks.
It's certainly nice to know Watts is involved, but fans are likely getting kind of antsy for new knowledge. Hopefully that particular drought ends soon, because the prospect of a Star Wars show specifically for kids, not unlike Star Trek: Prodigy, is certainly a welcome one.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is set to release on Disney Plus in 2023.
