"Star Wars" has always been, on some level, for children. That's neither condescension nor criticism: George Lucas created a swashbuckling fairy tale set in space, and its mantle has been taken up by successive generations of filmmakers who encountered it at a formative age.

Co-created by Jon Watts ('Spider-Man: No Way Home'), the family-friendly series follows four youths on an unexpected space adventure through a certain galaxy far, far away.
