Jon Watts to create new Star Wars series for Disney Plus

Watts is joined by Spider-Man: Homecoming writer Chris Ford for the new Lucasfilm show

"Apparently, the project “is being described as a galactic version of classic Amblin coming-of-age adventure films of the ’80s” within Lucasfilm. (Think The Goonies in a galaxy far, far away.) Per VF, the show is currently only known under the codename “Grammar Rodeo,” which refers to “to an episode of The Simpsons in which Bart and his schoolmates steal a car and run away for a week, using a phony educational event as an alibi.”"

This is probably the real reason why Watts left Fantastic Four.

I agree... though I have to wonder about the reason(s)...

* More interested in Star Wars?
* Change of (universe) focus after 6 years on Spider-man?
* TV show is a change of pace?

Interesting that Disney pulled Watts off Fantastic Four in favor of this.

So this is going to be the Star Wars version of Star Trek: Prodigy, I guess.

Skeleton Crew would be such a great name for a series about Jude Law stranded in the middle of nowhere and a bunch of B1s painted to look like skeletons to keep him company, LOL.

Jude Law is a great actor, but a coming-of-age story seems like a bit of a stretch.

The budget for this $136 million.

Nice to have a SW story that is not connected to the Skywalker saga (I believe).
