Star Wars: Skeleton Crew – Jod Na Nawood’s Backstory Has a Likely Darth Vader Connection

This article contains spoilers for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episode 8.

We still may not know much about Jude Law’s Jod Na Nawood (if that’s even his real name) or the various identities he’s assumed across his life, but the season finale of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew may have just given us the first real nugget of information about his past. Jod is a ruthless pirate, there’s no doubt about that, but he’s also clearly Force-sensitive. While previous fan theories have assumed that he was a survivor of the initial wave of Order 66, the story he tells to the kids and their parents sounds more like he was a victim of its aftermath.

Jod tells them that a woman, a Jedi on the run, found him starving on his home planet and took him under her wing. According to Jod, “she only taught [him] a little before they hunted her down, and they made me watch whilst they killed her” While he doesn’t explicitly define who “they” are, it’s not unlikely that she was killed by Darth Vader’s Inquisitors.
