Jude Law and Bryce Dallas Howard can’t stop laughing as they promote new Star Wars spin-off series Skeleton Crew at Megacon

Jude Law and Bryce Dallas Howard were left in sтιтches laughing as they spoke at Orlando’s Megacon about their hit new Star Wars spin-off series, Skeleton Crew on Sunday. 

The actor, 52, who portrays the mysterious Jedi Jod Na Nawood in the new series, looked in top spirits as he joined Bryce, who serves as one of the show’s directors, on stage at the event. 

For his appearance, Jude looked worlds away from his rugged-character as he stepped out in a crisp white jacket which he layered over a grey T-shirt. 

Helping him chat about the new release and answer some fan questions, Bryce also appeared ecstatic as she appeared on stage in a blue pin-striped blazer. 

Joining them on stage were the show’s four child stars, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Kyriana Kratter and Robert Timothy Smith. 

In the series, Ravi plays Wim, Ryan stars as Fern, Kyriana portrays KB and Robert takes on the role of Neel.

The youngsters appeared elated to be chatting to their fans  as Robert brought out a toy version of his character so fans could recognise who he was under all the prosthetic makeup. 

At the event Bryce’s appearance excited fans as she explained her connection to the Star Wars world from a young age. 

She was introduced to the movies through her father’s connections and first watched the movie on Skywalker Ranch. 

Bryce told the audience: ‘George Lucas is one our dearest family friends he cast my dad when was 17 years old in American Graffiti.’

She then revealed that she grew up with George’s children because they were all of similar age. 

To give the audience a hint to their тιԍнт-knitted upbringing she then confessed that she watched the films at Skywalker ranch to which caused an eruption of applause from the audience. 

Disney announced the new live-action Star Wars series featuring Jude at a major fan convention two years ago.  

It premiered on Disney+ on December 4, with its first two episodes and will consist of eight episodes in total.

But any mention of upcoming films in the beloved sci-fi franchise was conspicuously absent, as the company focused on its streaming service.

The series is set around the same time as The Mandalorian – about ten years after the events of Return of the Jedi.

We are introduced to a crew of four young characters – Wim, Fern, KB and Neel.

They make a mysterious discovery on their home planet and accidentally blast off at warp speed to a strange and dangerous galaxy.

Here they meet Jod, a ‘force user’, played by Jude, who once starred as the young Dumbledore in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
