The holidays are fast approaching like a streaking starship from the galaxy far, far away coming out of hyperspace, so it’s no surprise that Disney+ and Lucasfilm have just gifted us a fresh trailer for their upcoming eight-episode “Star Wars” TV series, “Skeleton Crew.”

This spirited new show starring Jude Law as a possible Jedi Knight named Jod Na Nawood chaperoning a group of kids back home after getting lost in deep space occurs during the seminal sci-fi saga’s New Republic era. Similarities to the family-friendly Steven Spielberg-produced film “The Goonies” have been discussed from the initial trailer that landed back in August, and it certainly has that certain ’80s coming-of-age vibe, especially in this latest trailer.

Accompanied by German musician Peter Schilling’s iconic 1983 new wave tune, “Major Tom,” “Skeleton Crew’s” thrilling preview shows the kid gang discovering a spaceship in an old Jedi temple. When they get hopelessly lost on their reckless flight, the mysterious Jod Na Nawood offers to form a partnership and guide them back home through a gauntlet of tentacled aliens, dangerous droids, murderous pirates, and “mountains where none dare to go.”

Purists might object to the use of a pop synthesizer song invading the hallowed “Star Wars” universe, but we must admit that it does lend an air of levity and overall fun to the adventurous proceedings.
