The film was pitched to Lucasfilm as “The Goonies In Star Wars,” and it was explained that, although the series features four children, “it is not a show for children.”

Law went on to talk about his younger co-stars, saying that they are “all in a constant state of confusion and danger and challenge.” He explains that the series is “very much a piece about working together and overcoming fears and overcoming… maybe [one’s] opinion of oneself or one’s weaknesses in order to achieve success.”
