Warning: SPOILERS for the Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episode “The Actual Good Guys” are forward!
Though it’d been identified for a very long time that Jude Regulation was enjoying a necessary character in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew previous to the sequence launching to Disney+ subscription holders, there was a giant reveal about Jod Na Nawood saved for the present’s arrival: he was a Power person. Granted, it was clarified by Episode 3 that Jod, a.okay.a. Captain Silvo, was not really a Jedi, however the thriller of how he was in a position to harness the vitality discipline that binds all residing issues lingered… that’s, till the season finale. With the Star Wars sequence having concluded its run on the 2025 TV schedule, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, who performs Wim, informed CinemaBlend how he reacted when he discovered in regards to the twist for Regulation’s character.
In “The Actual Good Guys,” Jod shared that the rationale he was ready to make use of the Power is as a result of he’d briefly been skilled by a Jedi when he was a child on the streets struggling to outlive. Sadly, this Jedi was killed as an enemy of the Republic earlier than she might end Jod’s coaching, though it was left ambiguous whether or not this occurred throughout the grotesque Order 66 or if she was killed someday throughout the Empire’s reign. In any case, throughout my interview with Cabot-Conyers about his work on Skeleton Crew following the discharge of the episode, he informed me the next of how he reacted when he discovered Jod’s full backstory:
I used to be so excited after I was studying the primary few episodes and we did not know an excessive amount of about Jod, to seek out out, slowly uncover who he was and what he is hiding, what he is not hiding. As a result of it’s a little bit tough to inform originally whether or not he’s mendacity about being a Jedi, mendacity about being Power-sensitive. There’s so many mysteries. And Wim is making an attempt to remain hopeful about whether or not he is a Jedi or not. He actually desires to consider that he is a Jedi and that he’ll actually assist us get house. However for me, I used to be virtually positive from the beginning that he was gonna be just a little bit conniving, that type of vitality. It’s so mysterious that he is Power-sensitive, supposedly. He is nonetheless a nasty man in a means. There’s a lot we nonetheless want to determine about him, and I feel that might be an thrilling twist for Season 2 to see what goes on with him. And I am actually hoping there is a Season 2, I am staying so hopeful.
I’ll admit that for many of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’s run, I used to be skeptical about if Jod was really utilizing the Power or had some form of machine that allowed him to levitate objects. However finally I got here round, and when he additionally demonstrated some precise proficiency with the lightsaber when he blocked some stun blasts, that clinched it for me that he’d had at the very least some Jedi coaching, which was confirmed moments later. However as Ravi Cabot-Conyers laid out throughout our dialog, he was fairly assured early on that there was one thing sketchy going with Jod, though the actor additionally acknowledged that there’s nonetheless much more exploration that must be performed with the character.
By the tip of the Skeleton Crew Season 1 finale, New Republic X-Wings arrived to shoot down Jod Na Nawood’s ship and quash his pirate crew’s invasion of At Attin, and Jude Regulation’s character merely watched his plans crumble quite than attempt to make a run for it. Little doubt he’ll be arrested by the New Republic, however given the whole lot Jod did this season, I used to be curious if Cabot-Conyers thought the antagonist could possibly be redeemed. He answered:
1,000,000%. 1,000,000%? I feel he undoubtedly might flip issues round, and that might undoubtedly be thrilling for Wim, you realize?
On the time of this writing, there’s been no phrase about if Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will return for a second season, however I’d additionally have an interest to see how Wim would react to Jod Na Nahwood altering his methods. He was clearly disenchanted when he began realizing what sort of an individual the pirate actually was, however Ravi Cabot-Conyers appears assured that there’s a means for Jod to step into the sunshine. In fact, then there’s the matter of how Jod would be capable of go adventuring once more if Season 2 occurs since he’s going to be despatched to jail, however these are particulars that may be discovered later.
You possibly can watch the whole lot of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Season 1 on Disney+ now. Subsequent up on the upcoming Star Wars TV exhibits lineup is Andor Season 2, which premieres April 22.
