‘We want people to guess’: What is the identity of Jude Law’s character in the Star Wars Skeleton Crew series?

Warning, spoilers. It is recommended to watch episode 3 of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew before continuing reading this article.

Currently airing on Disney+, Star Wars: The Crew is an enjoyable series for young and old that will reconcile the Star Wars universe with a return to the origins of the saga.

Developed by John Watts and Christopher Ford (Spider-Man: No Way Home), this fiction follows the journey of four children, Vim, Neal, Fern and KB, in the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi film.

After a mysterious discovery on their home planet, children lost in the galaxy will create a unique adventure and try their best to find a way that will lead them home.

Who is Jude Law in the Star Wars series?

At the end of the second episode of Star Wars: The Skeleton Crew and the third episode available on Disney+, Wim, Neel, Fern and KB meet a very mysterious character played by Jude Law.

Trapped with them in Port Borgo, the character played by the British actor suggests that the children escape on their ship and use the Force to retrieve the keys to their dungeon.

The children are captivated, but also suspicious of him. If we have already seen him as Captain Silvo, the leader of the pirate group, at the beginning of the very first episode, he introduces himself differently to the children as Jodh na Navud and seems to pretend to be a Jedi.

After much frustration for the children, the droid SM-33, and Silvo/Jody, who run into old acquaintances like Brutus or former members of his team, the companions in trouble manage to escape from Port Borgo.

Silvo/Jod is very interested in the fact that the children come from the secret planet Atin, and he suggests visiting an old friend so that he can bring the children home.

But this old friend, a half-owl, half-cat creature named Kh’ymm, is not thrilled to see the man he calls Crimson Jack. She tries to arrest him by looking for the coordinates of the planet Attin for the children. But Silvo/Jod/Crimson Jack manages to recover them and return to the ship in time with the children for a new stage of their adventure.

Is Jude Law’s character a Jedi in the Star Wars series?

With the third episode of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, we learn that Jude Law’s character has multiple identities and multiple lives. We already know three: Captain Sylvo, Jodh na Navud, and Crimson Jack.

So with his mastery of the Force, is Jude Law’s character a Jedi in hiding? We asked the co-creators of the series and we can say that this is one of the biggest secrets of the series.

“I think a lot of the fun of the show is uncovering the mystery of who Judy’s character really is and how she fits into this world.”John Watts believes.

“We want to keep people guessing.”Christopher Ford continues, “We know it only takes a small hint of power to create a lot of interest”.

If we can’t already tell that Jude Law’s character is a Jedi, the actor certainly had a lot of fun with the character according to Christopher Ford:

“I think he immediately understood what we were trying to do with the character. It’s really fun for an actor to play someone who has so many different sides. And we really like the very complex juxtaposition of his character with the kids who seem so naive and naive. New, that’s what sets them both apart.”

The mystery surrounding Jude Law’s character will fade as the episodes progress, and the actor himself gave fans a little insight in an interview. mirror Said episode 7 was his favorite “Because a lot of things come to your mind and you will understand my character very quickly”. So we will have to wait a little longer to know everything about him.
