The revelation of the budget of a new Disney + series sets off alarms.
The Star Wars universe is in full expansion thanks to the series that the Disney+ streaming platform launches exclusively. The successful The Mandalorian has been followed by The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi, while Andor will be released soonset before Rogue One; Ahsoka, which will follow Anakin Skywalker’s young Jedi apprentice; either Star Wars: A Droid Story, a series that will unite the inseparable androids R2D2 and C3PO. Nevertheless, there is a much more promising series thanks to its very high budget.
Announced at Star Wars Celebration 2022, the medium The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that the series Skeleton Crew will have a production budget of about 136 million dollars. The figure is the highest and most surprising for a series, even more so if you take into account that the first season of The Mandalorian cost between 100 and 120 million dollars, which would make this new one the most expensive in the universe.
Skeleton Crew will star Jude Law (Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets) and directed by jon wattsresponsible for the Spider-Man trilogy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who refused to direct the new Fantastic 4 to join this new project that he will present to a group of children lost in the galaxy trying to find their way home in the era of the New Republic.
The series is scheduled to premiere throughout the year 2023 and its high budget now suggests that it is one of Disney’s most ambitious projects for the Star Wars saga. Of course, we will have to be very aware of the project of which additional details are unknown today.
