If you're a small baffled astir what Skeleton Crew's communicative is astir – let's beryllium honest, nosy arsenic its latest trailer looks, it's difficult to find its crippled – don't worry, because I'm present to help. Essentially, it follows 4 kids called Wim (played by Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), KB (Kyriana Kratter), and Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), who get mislaid successful that celebrated postulation far, acold away. How do they do so? Well, they find a spaceship buried connected their location satellite and, aft someway excavating it without immoderate adults uncovering out, accidentally kickstart its engines and hyperdrive, and upwind up successful a distant and vulnerable portion of nan cosmos.

But fearfulness not for their safety, because Jude Law's enigmatic rogue Jod Na Nawood, who immoderate observers are already theorizing is simply a Jedi – or, astatine nan very least, a Force wielder – offers to thief them get backmost home. I suspect, though, that he'll want thing successful return, and that thing could beryllium nan very spaceship that nan quartet primitively found.
