Episode 3 of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew has dropped, and fans have received even more info regarding the mystery of At Attin as well as learned who Jod Na Nawood really is. For more on the episode check out our post show recap video below and see all the new stills from LucasFilm.

Skeleton Crew takes us to where nostalgia meets the present. Taking on themes from the Goonies, E.T, and other Amblin Studio projects, this show takes Star Wars to a whole other level.

What makes Skeleton Crew different from the other recent Star Wars projects is the tone that it sets. From The Mandalorian to Ahsoka, the tone of these connecting shows has been more serious compared to Skeleton Crew. This show is more up beat and has the same fun aspects as most Amblin films from the 1980’s do: kids from a small town take on a bigger adventure than they could possibly imagine. It feels very similar to the Goonies and E.T, but in the galaxy of Star Wars.

The show features a fun collection of call backs to classic pirate stories such as Treasure Island, Peter Pan, and Pirates of the Caribbean. From the Character SM-33 (Smee) to the sound of whistling taken from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction from DisneyLand and Walt Disney World, and more, just in the first two episodes!

Even though there are a lot of pop culture references from the past, this show still stands on its own. The characters, the plot, and pop culture references in these first few episodes help set the fun tone for what lies ahead in these next 6 episodes.

Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, previewed its highly anticipated 2025 film lineup during a special panel at New York Comic Con 2024. The event, titled “Shudder is here to Scare the S*** Out of You,” was led by Shudder’s VP of Programming, Samuel Zimmerman, and featured a distinguished group of horror industry talents including actors David Dastmalchian and Devon Sawa, musician and director Flying Lotus, actor and director Kate Siegel, and director Tina Romero. During the panel, Shudder revealed several key updates: the upcoming release of DARK MATCH, a wrestling-themed horror film debuting on January 31, 2025, and a first-look teaser for the sci-fi horror feature ASH, set for theatrical release through RLJE Films and streaming on Shudder in 2025. Additionally, Shudder confirmed the greenlight for the highly anticipated eighth installment of the V/H/S franchise.

“At New York Comic Con we are not only celebrating an exciting 2024 at Shudder, showcasing the fearless and provocative voices of our filmmakers, but looking ahead,” commented Samuel Zimmerman. “As 2025 and our 10th anniversary draws near, DARK MATCH, V/H/S/8, and ASH are just the beginning of our boldest, most frightening year yet.”

Shudder has acquired the US, UKI, and ANZ rights to DARK MATCH, written and directed by Lowell Dean and starring wrestling superstar Chris Jericho (TERRIFIER 2), Ayisha Issa (TRANSPLANT), Steven Ogg (THE WALKING DEAD, WESTWORLD), Sara Canning (THE VAMPIRE DIARIES), Michael Eklund (THE CALL) and Jonathan Cherry (GOON). In DARK MATCH, a small-time wrestling company accepts a well-paying gig in a backwoods town only to learn, too late, that the community is run by a mysterious cult leader with devious plans for their match. The film will debut on Shudder on January 31, 2025.

The found footage franchise V/H/S will continue with an eighth film, set to debut on Shudder in 2025. The news comes on the heels of a record-breaking opening for the latest installment V/H/S/BEYOND, which debuted on Friday, October 4 and became the #2 most streamed film of all time across Shudder and AMC+ and the most streamed movie in the V/H/S franchise.

RLJE Films and Shudder have acquired the US rights to Grammy Award Winner Flying Lotus’ second feature ASH. The film stars Eiza González (BABY DRIVER, 3 BODY PROBLEM), Aaron Paul (BREAKING BAD, WESTWORLD), Iko Uwais (THE RAID, THE NIGHT COMES FOR US), Beulah Koale (NEXT GOAL WINS), and Kate Elliott (WENTWORTH), and will feature an original score composed by Flying Lotus, whose previous films include the Shudder Original KUSO and a segment in V/H/S/99. ASH will have a wide theatrical release through RLJE Films and streaming on Shudder in 2025. On the mysterious planet of Ash, Riya (González) awakens to find her crew slaughtered. When a man named Brion (Paul) arrives to rescue her, an ordeal of psychological and physical terror ensues while Riya and Brion must decide if they can trust one another to survive.
