Skeleton Crew - a mobile game for Disney+
A new Star Wars adventure awaits
Client
Disney+
Platform
Snapchat / Lens Studio
Now streaming on Disney+, Skeleton Crew tells the story of four kids searching for their home planet after getting lost in the Star Wars galaxy, and the strange creatures and dangerous places they encounter on their adventure. The show is both a bold new chapter in the Star Wars universe and a love letter to the aesthetic of the early days of Star Wars and 80s coming of age movies.
plai brought all this intergalactic magic to Snapchat via a new gamified Snap Lens. In the game, players take control of Neel and his hoverbike as he sweeps through traffic and under tunnels, collecting Old Republic Credits on his home planet of At Attin. The Leaderboard functionality shows players how they rank against other players worldwide. In the selfie experience, players get to go hyperspeed in a space ship with Neel.
In honour of the original show visuals by Lucasfilm Ltd and Industrial Light and Magic, plai pushed the production values as far as possible, with VFX running inside Snap including god rays, fog haze, colour grading and stunning animations - a level of craft and polish pushing what is possible on the Snap platform.
