While details about the show are still scarce, Watts and writer Christopher Ford (Spider-Man: Homecoming) were on hand at Celebration to share some hints. They explained that the show is «about kids» but emphasized that it is «not a kids show.» It will be set post-Return of the Jedi, around the same time frame as both the upcoming Ahsoka and The Mandalorian series.
«A group of 10-year-olds from a tiny planet get lost and have to find their way home,» Watts explained. «We really like the idea of using kids to give you a different perspective on the Star Wars universe.»
Prior to the official announcement, rumors of the project had begun swirling after the show's working title, Grammar Rodeo, apparently leaked. The name is a reference to an episode of The Simpsons where Bart and his pals steal a car and run away for a week.
Details about the show's cast, as well as the identity of Jude Law's character, are being kept under wraps. It will hit Disney+ at some point in 2023.
Other news out of Celebration has included the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Andor series, and details about The Mandalorian's third season.
