Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is set to premiere next week, and there’s a theory that could reveal who Jude Law’s mysterious “Jedi” character is – with a potential and surprising connection to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Skeleton Crew is set to tell an 80s-style adventure of kids lost in space, where they will come face to face with Star Wars pirates. It is known that Jude Law will play a character named Jod Na Nawood, and it was originally believed that his character would be a Jedi; this, however, no longer appears to be the case.
Skeleton Crew will take place during the New Republic Era, probably sometime after The Mandalorian season 3. This could mean that different characters and storylines from other New Republic Era shows, such as The Mandalorian, Ahsokaor The Book of Boba Fett could appear. With pirates having a long tenure and history in Star Wars Galaxy, Skeleton Crew may have some special appearances. Despite this, Jod Na Nawood’s identity and background are still unclear.
There’s an Intense Mystery About Jude Law’s Star Wars Character
Is Jod Na Nawood really his real name?
When Jude Law was announced as the leader of Skeleton CrewHis character’s name was not disclosed. In fact, it was only recently that Star Wars revealed the character’s name. This led many to believe that this Force-sensitive character would have a name that Star Wars fans would recognize, but that was not the case. Jod Na Nawood could simply be a nickname for something else, and just a name he gives kids to essentially shut them up.
With so little known about his character, it’s quite possible that his identity is a major spoiler and will only be revealed over time. It is known that Jod Na Nawood is Force-sensitive, but there are theories that Jod Na Nawood could be a rogue Jedi, a Sith apprentice, or even a clone of Palpatine from the Necromancer Project. With so much secrecy surrounding Jod Na Nawood, any of these theories could be correct, or his name could simply be a misdirection for fans.
Jod Na Nawood is not a Jedi
But he could be the son of a
In the past, the children of Jedi were generally known to be sensitive to the Force. This was the case with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, whose father, Anakin Skywalker, was a powerful Jedi. More recently in Ahsokaaudiences saw that Jacen Syndulla, son of Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus, was also Force-sensitive. It is possible that during the Dark Times, a Jedi fugitive from the Empire settled, assimilated, and had a child. If that child was also Force-sensitive, his Jedi father could have trained him enough to hide his abilities and not be captured by the Empire.
It’s possible that someone like Jod Na Nawood is the son of a surviving Jedi, which is one of the reasons why the public has never heard of him before and why he was hesitant to confirm to children that he was a Jedi.
It’s possible that someone like Jod Na Nawood is the son of a surviving Jedi, which is one of the reasons why the public has never heard of him before and why he was hesitant to confirm to children that he was a Jedi. He may have been trained by a Jedi, but he doesn’t consider himself one. If this theory is correct, Jod Na Nawood would also be used to going unnoticed and dealing with dubious relationships, such as with pirates..
Could Jod Na Nawood fit into another long-standing Obi-Wan Kenobi theory?
This Clone Wars Theory Has Never Been Disproved
For years, there was a Star Wars theory that Obi-Wan Kenobi was actually the father of Satine Kyrze’s “nephew”, Korkie Kryze. Korkie appeared in several episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and seemed especially close to the Duchess. Korkie’s parentage was never revealed, and considering the public only met two of the Kryzes – Satine and Bo-Katan –it was assumed that Korkie was the son of a third brother, never identified. Satine never admitted to having children and Bo-Katan was too young to have a child Korkie’s age.
If Star Wars wanted the audience to think Korkie was the son of a third Kryze brother, they just needed to throw in a throwaway line in one of the many opportunities they had. This omission has led to speculation that Star Wars is simply waiting for the right moment to introduce the son of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Satine Kryze. Given all the secrecy surrounding Jod Na Nawood’s name and origin, the franchise may finally be in a place where a character like Nawood could be revealed to be Kenobi’s son.
If Jod Na Nawood is Kenobi’s son, it would make sense that he wouldn’t identify as a Jedi. Korkie grew up on Mandalore, a place with a long-standing treaty with the Jedi that prevented them from attacking each other, as they were former enemies. If Korkie knew of his parentage it could put an even bigger target on his back. Maybe that’s why he only uses the Force when necessary. If Jod Na Nawood is Korkie Kryze, he would be the second Mandalorian Jedi audiences have seen recently, with Sabine Wren also being trained in Ahsoka.
A Mandalorian connection would explain another Jod Na Nawood mystery
There is some evidence to support this theory
Not only would Jod Na Nawood being a Mandalorian touch on many of the themes of the New Republic Era, but it could also reveal why he is so willing to help these children. He could be looking for a safe way to return to Mandalore and reunite with his aunt Bo-Katan and the rest of his people. Furthermore, if Nawood was a Mandalorian, it would make sense for him to be in the far reaches of the galaxy, as the Mandalorian people scattered after the Night of a Thousand Tears.
Additionally, Jude Law revealed that he fought for Jod’s hair to be short because of the helmet. It is important to note that Jod Na Nawood has not been seen wearing a helmet in any promotions for Skeleton Crew, so this could be one of the big reveals of the season. The show’s creators may be trying to hide their Mandalorian connection until the time is right. No matter Jod Na Nawood’s background and background, it will be interesting to see what kind of Force user he will be when Skeleton Crew premieres.
