Star Wars: Skeleton Crew release schedule - when is episode 8 out?
Buckle up for the dramatic end of this latest adventure!
It all comes down to this: The ragtag group of pint-sized adventurers known as the Skeleton Crew have finally made it back to their home planet of At Attin – but there won't be much time to celebrate their return.
That's because the man formerly known as Jod Na Nawood is actually notorious space pirate Captain Silvo (Jude Law), and he's close behind with a gang of dangerous crooks all expecting a major bounty.
Specifically, they believe At Attin to be the location of a fabled stash of Republic credits long associated with pirate Tak Rennod – the former owner of Skeleton Crew ship the Onyx Cinder – who disappeared without a trace years earlier.
That spells trouble for the kids and their parents, who must brace themselves for some hostile company in next week's Star Wars: Skeleton Crew finale, which could also provide viewers with a Sherlock Holmes reunion.
Indeed, a memorable moment from the penultimate chapter reveals At Attin's supervisor character to be voiced by none other than Stephen Fry, who played Mycroft to Law's Dr John Watson in the detective thrillers starring Robert Downey Jr.
It's unclear whether the character will be a voice-only gig for Fry, in the same vein as his headmaster performance in Heartstopper, or if he'll be appearing in live-action before the series concludes on Disney Plus.
If you're excited, read on for exactly when to expect Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episode 8 – the series finale – and a recap of the show's full release schedule so far.
