Directors Jon Watts (“Spider-Man”) and Lee Isaac Chung (“Twisters”) hail from the Front Range.
Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” features Colorado-born directors Jon Watt and Lee Isaac Chung in pivotal roles. The Star Wars franchise may be set in a galaxy far, far away, but it’s lately never felt closer to Colorado.But with the Monday, Dec. 2, premiere of “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” on Disney+, our latest Star Wars tales will be even stronger with the Colorado force., who directed the last three “Spider-Man” movies for Marvel Studios. “I flew into L.A.
The limited series traces the “Goonies”-style adventure of a quartet of kids who stumble upon a lost spaceship and are thrust into a mission to survive and find their way home. While the child actors are all relative unknowns, the show also stars Jude Law, who’s no stranger to Disney sci-fi projects as a veteran of “Captain Marvel” .
That talent pool made staying in a Star Wars mood easier, but it was still a challenge to carry the feeling of creator George Lucas’ movies all day long while working on the series, Watts said. The point, Chung added, is to continue to add to the world that was already built, and not just to express himself as a filmmaker within that world. That’s part of why he was hired, of course, but he takes his duty seriously, whether it was getting his Star Wars feet wet by directing an episode of “The Mandalorian” or balancing fan expectations and project-specific concerns.
Colorado, of course, played a role in the series, as it has with other Colorado-born Star Wars directors, actors and writers.
