New details have been revealed about the Star Wars series that 'Spider-Man: No Way Home's Jon Watts is helming, including that it will be resemblant to a 1980s coming-of-age story.

While we still don’t know what Jon Watts’ Star Wars series is all about, a new report from Vanity Fair confirms the live-action show is resemblant to a 1980s coming-of-age story set in space. The latest report also confirms the untitled show will occur after Return of the Jedi in the Star Wars timeline, just as The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Another option is for the show to follow a new class of Padawans trained by Luke Skywalker . In The Book of Boba Fett, we learn that Luke is building the Jedi Academy that would be destroyed by Kylo Ren many years later. At the time, the Jedi Master doesn’t have any official students. So, after returning Grogu to the Mandalorian Din , it’s fair to assume Luke will search for other force-sensitive kids he can train in the Jedi way.

Whatever the actual plot of “Grammar Rodeo” turns out to be, the idea of coming-of-age stories inspired by 1980s classics such as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a welcome addition to the Star Wars universe. The franchise was always more successful looking to the past than committing to hard science fiction, with The Mandalorian making a fine example of just how much Star Wars can copy from Westerns and get away with.

The next Star Wars show to hit Disney+ is Obi-Wan Kenobi, starring Ewan McGregor as the Jedi Master and Hayden Christensen as Sith Lord Darth Vader. Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres with two episodes on May 27, exclusively on Disney+.
