Star Wars fans discovered a big clue that Hondo Ohnaka, one of George Lucas’ most iconic characters from Star Wars: The Clone Warscould finally make its live-action debut in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. These are exciting times for fans of Star Wars animation, with many main characters transitioning to live action. Rosario Dawson starred as Ahsoka Tano in live-action The Mandalorian 2nd season, The Book of Boba Fettand even their own show, while Steven Blum and Katie Sackhoff reprized the roles of Zeb and Bo-Katan Kryze.
Now, Star Wars fans have discovered an exciting clue that a classic Clone Wars character, pirate and smuggler Hondo Ohnaka, could very well make his live-action debut in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. The recent Skeleton Crew The trailer features shots of a mysterious planet that appears to be part of the galactic underworld, and a very familiar ship appears to be docked there. It appears to be the Katooni, Hondo’s spaceship Smuggler’s run in Galaxy’s Edge.
Who is Hondo Ohnaka and how could he fit into the Skeleton Crew?
Star Wars’ most iconic pirate
Lucasfilm has maintained the plot of Skeleton Crew largely in secret – at least until the most recent trailer, which revealed the plot. Set five years later Return of the Jediand concomitant with The Mandalorian and Ahsoka, Skeleton Crew stars a group of children from an Earth-like planet who are lost in Star Wars Galaxy. Somehow, they end up dealing with pirates and hunting for ancient treasure.
Created by George Lucas and voiced by Jim Cummings, Hondo Ohnaka is easily one of the Star Wars‘best known pirates and smugglers. He made his debut in Star Wars: The Clone Warsand returned in Star Wars Rebels like some kind of familiar face. A Jedi sympathizer who doesn’t mind betraying even his friends for a quick credit, Hondo is an important character in the Galaxy’s Edge theme park. It’s easy to see why a figure like Hondo would be considered in a pirate-centric story set at the height of his career.
Our Take on Hondo’s Potential Star Wars Return
He would be the perfect addition to Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
He may be a Jedi sympathizer, but Hondo wouldn’t necessarily be an ally to the children in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew; he didn’t hesitate to try to traffic Force-sensitive children during the Clone Wars, giving an idea of ​​how dangerous Hondo really is. This means he would be the perfect complement to Star Wars‘ upcoming TV show, a grayscale character who would work well in the pirate story. Hondo would definitely be interested in the mysterious treasure the kids apparently found, which means he would be a formidable antagonist.
