This 'Skeleton Crew' Character's Arc Isn't Going the Way I Expected

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, a departure from the galaxy-wide conflicts typical of the franchise, focuses on the adventure of four children—Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), and KB (Kyriana Kratter)—from a forgotten planet. Their quest to find a way home leads them to the mysterious pirate Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law), also known as Crimson Jack and Silvo. Initially appearing sketchy and untrustworthy, Jod's self-serving nature and snarky attitude suggest he's more interested in self-interest than acting as a fatherly protector, a trope seen in other Star Wars series like The Mandalorian with Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), The Bad Batch with Hunter (Dee Bradley Baker), and Rebels with Kanan Jarrus (Freddie Prinze Jr.). However, as seen in Episode 4, "Can't Say I Remember No At Attin," Jod's character arc takes a turn towards redemption. He displays genuine concern for the children, saving them from betrayal and conflict, including a war over stolen eopies and a threatening droid, SM-33 (Nick Frost). This act of heroism, despite risking his own freedom, reveals a deeper, more mysterious side to Jod, challenging the initial perception of him as simply self-serving and untrustworthy. The themes of trust, betrayal, mystery, and self-improvement are central to Jod's journey and the children's adventure as they navigate a war-torn planet and the search for At Attin. Kh'ymm (Alia Shawkat) also plays a role in the unfolding events.
