There has been a lot of mystery surroundingJude Law’s character, Jod Na Nawood, inStar Wars: Skeleton Crew, particularly pertaining to his identity as a Jedi and Force user. TheupcomingStar WarsTV showwill feature Law’s Jod as he comes across a group of four children, the youngcast ofSkeleton Crew, after they find themselves lost within a dangerous galaxy. Jod has been described as a different kind of Jedi by those involved with the show, and he seems to use the Force in theSkeleton Crewtrailer, but this could all be a ruse.
Law hints at this in an interview withVariety, after he’s asked about wielding the Force. Given how iconic the Force and the Jedi are not just inStar Wars, but also in greater pop culture, Law is asked how it felt to have the Force, andhe responds with the counterpoint, “Who says I’ve got the Force?“This adds to the mystery of Jod Na Nawood that already exists, and the hints that have already been provided about his character being anything but a Jedi - including the fact his character carries a blaster rather than a lightsaber.
What The Mystery Of Jude Law’s Jedi Means For Skeleton Crew
Everything Is Not As It Seems
This mystery surrounding Law’s “Jedi” character adds another layer of intrigue toSkeleton Crewin the best way. It keeps the audience on their toes before the show even comes out, promising that everything is not as it seems. This is especially useful in a coming-of-age story such as this one, where the kids will be tasked with surviving on their own and learning who they can and can’t trust.It looks as if Jod Na Nawood could very well turn into the kind of person they can’t, and shouldn’t, trust, particularly with Wim’s fantasies about Jedi heroes.
Skeleton Crew Is Already Set To Have Some Incredible Twists
Though Jod Na Nawood Remains Its Greatest Mystery
This potential Jod Na Nawood twist is only one of the several that have been hinted at inSkeleton Crew’s story.Recent photos fromSkeleton Crewthat have been released show some fascinating locations, including one whereJod is seen by some ancient runes - the very same that appeared on the extragalactic planet of Peridea in theAhsokaseries. This seems to be pointing towards a twist that could connect this story very closely toAhsoka’s, especially seeing as the two shows take place at the same time inThe Mandalorianera.
Star Wars' Sith Language Is The Key To The Galaxy’s Past & Future
The Sith language has taken different forms throughout Star Wars Legends and Canon, though the most recent can be translated with exciting clues.
There’s also the matter ofJedi Temples, a reactivated ship, and dangerous pirates, all of which could take the story in very interesting and unexpected directions. There are even deep-rooted Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the show, from theCaptain EOcreature Fuzzball in the trailer to the return of the Teek species from the 1980s Ewok movies. While some of these things may not lead to big story twists, they do still stand apart as things that are fresh and exciting, although it’s looking as if the identity of Law’s “Jedi” will beSkeleton Crew’s pinnacle mystery.
