Adjust your calendars accordingly: Disney has decided that Skeleton Crew is exiting hyperspace ahead of schedule by a whole day. Now, instead of dropping next week on December 3, the latest Star Wars series will launch with a two-episode premiere the day prior on December 2.

Disney accompanied the news with a full list of the rollout for the series, as well as revealing which episodes are directed by the litany of behind-the-camera talent we knew were coming to the series. Check out the full schedule below:

There’s even a new poster to mark the occasion, forwarding a few of the series’ adult characters rather than the kids this time–including, of course, Jude Law’s Jod Na Nawood.

The early release will only effect the first two episodes, with the remainder of the series reverting to its originally-planned Tuesday evening drops. It’s far from the first time that Disney has shuffled around a premiere date at the last minute, especially not Star WarsObi-Wan Kenobi, for example, shuffled its date around to better time for a premiere at Star Wars Celebration, before hitting Disney+ a few hours earlier than planned. But it’s still nice that the show will get in people’s hands sooner.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will now hit Disney+ on December 2 at 6pm PT, with a two-episode premiere.
