Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes a different approach to the classic good vs. evil narrative, focusing on the adventures of four children and their encounter with the former pirate Jod Na Nawood.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Star Wars : Skeleton Crew Episode 4. Star Wars : Skeleton Crew is already defying expectations, moving away from the galaxy-wide fight between good and evil to focus on four children from a forgotten planet.
Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), and KB (Kyriana Kratter) go on an unexpected adventure, meeting the former pirate Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law), who agrees to help them find a way home in return for their assistance in breaking free. From his introduction, Jod seemed sketchy. Not only was he locked up, but he has lied, stolen, and is basically set up to be untrustworthy. Already, the character has been given three different names (Jod, Crimson Jack, and Silvo), making his backstory more mysterious. Honestly, I'm a sucker for a good redemption story, but Jod's character showed no signs of caring about self-improvement. Yet, in Episode 4,'Can't Say I Remember No At Attin,' when he has the chance to either betray the children or run off without them, Jod saves them instead. Personally, I expected Jod to be the franchise's way of breaking the mold they set for themselves. Star Wars series have a long history of children finding a fatherly protector, like Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) in The Mandalorian, Hunter (Dee Bradley Baker) in Star Wars: The Bad Batch, or Kanan Jarrus (Freddie Prinze Jr.) in Star Wars: Rebels. But Jod seemed like the last person to fit that character type, as his snarky attitude towards the kids and blatant self-interest suggest him to be a treasure hunter like the pirates chasing them. Then, in Episode 4, he shows genuine concern for the four children he has found himself traveling with, showing there is more to the character than his mysterious nature and self-serving goal
