Spoilers SW: Skeleton crew discussion thread

[Zardnaar]

I reckon Jod is a padawan who survived by becoming a pirate. He may have started wearing that metal mask to avoid being recognized by anyone who might report him to the Inquisitors.

When Fern commented that their escape was too easy, I was thinking much the same thing. Brutus seemed too surprised / angry for it to be yet another “we’ve planted a tracking device on their ship so now we’re going to let them go” plan.

I’m not a big fan of Star Wars’ habit of including various anthropomorphic Earth creature species – we’ve got squid people, shark people, spider people, otter people, wolf people, elephant people, and now owl people!

Surely a barren moon like that shouldn’t have a breathable atmosphere!

I think this episode basically confirms At Attin’s connection is to the High Republic not the First Order. It’s a world lost to time as well as space.

KB’s moms talked about her having medical issues. I wonder if her cybernetic implant is related to that.

I assumed it was a Lost Republic world.

That was a lot of fun!

So, is Jod/Crimson Jack a Force-sensitive orphan kid raised by pirates or was he a Padawan who survived Order 66 and kept his powers quiet? An older teen Padawan would be in their mid-40's at the time of the Mandalorian and the other shows and Jude Law is 51, so it would fit. I really don't think he was ever a full Jedi, though.

He could just as easily be a rogue Inquisitor. Maybe he got his name from the lightsaber he kept from his old job.

I’m with Fern, I think his force powers are fake.

Yeah, that seems the most likely reason for a prosthesis, since her family didn’t have cybernetics, so it’s not a cultural thing.

Did anyone else notice a reference to the Monkey Island theme in the end music?

I dunno. Ever since The Force Awakens, any time a Force user uses the Force, there’s a distinctive noise that goes with it.

When Jod got the keys and when he distracted the guards, I heard that noise. It’s possible the show is deceiving us too, but I’m more inclined to think he is a Force user. Just not an actual Jedi.

It’s a musical cue. And it sounded slightly off to me.

So, Jod's other name, to his old crew, is Captain Silvo, which is competing with SM33 for being on-the-nose. Will we eventually learn that the full name he was known by was Long Jod Silvo?

Honsetly Disney, if you want to do a live-action Treasure Planet I'm 100% there for it, no need to shoehorn it into the Star Wars universe.

It's never sounded like a musical cue to me. Just a monotone "background radiation" style hum or something.

Uh, he went by "Crimson Jack".

Long John Silvo Crimson Jack Sparrow Threepwood.

 

[Lidgar]

We have been enjoying Goonies in Space. It's a nice mix of retro and intrigue.

When he's in the droid shop and his parrot-headed buddy catches up with him, he calls him Captain Silvo.
