Rumor: Skeleton Crew Characters Will Return To Star Wars In A Surprising Way

The
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew cast may return to the franchise soon. However, their rumored next appearance may not be what fans expect.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew has 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. While
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew season 2 ideas are 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 scooper
Daniel Richtman says he heard
"characters from Skeleton Crew will appear in the Filoni crossover film." Richtman is presumably referring to
Filoni's untitled New Republic Star Wars movie, which has been billed as the culmination of stories from
The Mandalorian,
Ahsoka,
Skeleton Crew, and
The Book of Boba Fett. Of course, Richtman did not specify which
Skeleton Crew characters will allegedly appear in Filoni's
Star Wars movie. 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 anticipated
Star Wars crossover film.
Plot details for Filoni's
Star Wars movie are thin and
Skeleton Crew has yet to wrap its storyline, so it's unclear how the two will connect. However,
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is 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 the
Skeleton Crew kids. The resolution of these plotlines may clarify how Filoni's
Star Wars movie is connected to
Skeleton Crew, which thus far is largely removed from the events of
The Mandalorian,
Ahsoka, and
The Book of Boba Fett.
Filoni's Star Wars movie is expected to feature Thrawn as the main villain and past
Star Wars shows have dropped hints at this.
The Mandalorian established 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 of
Star 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 main
Star Wars galaxy with an army of Stormtrooper at his side, presumably to rally the remnants of the Empire behind him.
The
Mandalorian and Grogu movie cast includes a Star Wars villain from 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 Wars shows. So, if
Skeleton Crew is included among the shows that will crossover in Filoni's new
Star Wars movie, 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.
