Summary
TheStar Wars: Skeleton Crewcast may return to the franchise soon. However, their rumored next appearance may not be what fans expect.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crewhas been praised for its sense of adventure and the performances of an endearing cast. With just two episodes left (as of this writing), the fates of Jude Law’s Jod Na Nawood, Ravi Cabot-Conyers' Wim, Ryan Kiera Armstrong’s Fern, Kyriana Kratter’s KB, and Robert Timothy Smith’s Neel remain unknown. WhileStar Wars: Skeleton Crewseason 2 ideasare already formulating in the heads of series creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford, it appears that some of the characters will return even if Disney doesn’t renew the show for another season.
Reputable scooperDaniel Richtmansays he heard"characters fromSkeleton Crewwill appear in the Filoni crossover film.“Richtman is presumably referring toFiloni’s untitled New RepublicStar Warsmovie, which has been billed as the culmination of stories fromThe Mandalorian,Ahsoka,Skeleton Crew, andThe Book of Boba Fett. Of course, Richtman did not specify whichSkeleton Crewcharacters will allegedly appear in Filoni’sStar Warsmovie. While the eponymous Skeleton Crew kids or Jod Na Nawood are the show’s main characters and therefore the most popular picks, the series features multiple supporting faces that could return for the anticipatedStar Warscrossover film.
Plot details for Filoni’sStar Warsmovie are thin andSkeleton Crewhas yet to wrap its storyline, so it’s unclear how the two will connect. However,Star Wars: Skeleton Crewis juggling a few mysteries, including the true identity of Jod Na Nawood, who seems to go by many different names. Fans also have a sense that something sinister is afoot on the planet At Attin, the homeworld of theSkeleton Crewkids. The resolution of these plotlines may clarify how Filoni’sStar Warsmovie is connected toSkeleton Crew, which thus far is largely removed from the events ofThe Mandalorian,Ahsoka, andThe Book of Boba Fett.
Filoni’sStar Warsmovie is expected to feature Thrawnas the main villain and pastStar Warsshows have dropped hints at this.The Mandalorianestablished that the sinister Moff Gideon was a member of the Shadow Council, a group of Imperial Warlords that sought to undermine the New Republic after the Galactic Empire fell. Among the topics discussed by the council are the whereabouts of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who was viewed as the best candidate to lead the Empire’s remnants but went missing after the events ofStar Wars Rebels. Ahsoka resolved the mystery of Thrawn’s fate when Dark Jedi Baylan Skoll, his apprentice Shin Hati, and Morgan Elsbeth located Thrawn in a different Galaxy. Thrawn returns to the mainStar Warsgalaxy with an army of Stormtrooper at his side, presumably to rally the remnants of the Empire behind him.
TheMandalorian and Grogumovie cast includes aStar Warsvillainfrom the Shadow Council, so the film will likely continue this storyline. As of the writing, Thrawn’s return and the remnants of the Empire are the strongest connections between the “MandoVerse"Star Warsshows. So, ifSkeleton Crewis included among the shows that will crossover in Filoni’s newStar Warsmovie, there’s a solid chance the show’s characters find themselves embroiled in the conflict between Imperial loyalists and the New Republic, a conflict that may provide answers about how the First Order was formed.
