When is Skeleton Crew set in the Star Wars universe?

Skeleton Crew is set in the New Republic era, generally at the same time as The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka, and after the events of Return of the Jedi.

This is at a time when the Galactic Empire has been defeated and the Rebellion has tried to instal a new government – but it's very new and there are obstacles to overcome.

While Skeleton Crew is set to take us across the galaxy, the first episodes are set on the kids' home world of At Attin.

It's an unexplored planet thus far – but could become very important in the Star Wars canon. Watch this space!
