"When four kids make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, they get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy," according to the show's official synoposis. "Finding their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined."
In addition to Law, child actors Ravi Cabot-Conyers (Wim), Kyriana Kratter (KB), Robert Timothy Smith (Neel) and Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Fern) will also star in the new series.
He adds that eagle-eyed Star Wars fans will be able to spot details that pay homage to the original films.
"If you look carefully, [we] got some Star Wars tech that dates right back, I believe, to the original film," he reveals. "They do [easter eggs] so well. That's one of the joys I think of this universe for those who know there are these little details always hidden away or Easter eggs that people can find and link up."
Watts also reveals that the series will introduce a new droid named SM 33, who he exclusively tells PEOPLE will be voiced by Nick Frost.
"He's like a rusty old, cranky droid that sort of reluctantly helps the kids along the way," he says with a laugh, noting how "fun" and "absolutely perfect" Frost's contributions are. He adds, "The other thing about him is that he's the first mate of a mysterious ship."
