Jude Law didn’t join Skeleton Crew right away: “It had to be right”

by

As a gamer who has lived through the epic saga of Star Wars since the original trilogy, I must say the anticipation for “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” is palpable. The latest revelations about Jude Law’s character Jod Na Nawood, a pirate-inspired Jedi, has my curiosity piqued and my excitement levels soaring.

In about a month, we’ll be able to watch “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew”, and each glimpse of the show from promotional content only serves to heighten our anticipation.

This month’s magazine cover, from Variety, showcases Jude Law. In a detailed chat with Ramin Setoodeh, Law opened up about his approach to the Star Wars role, explaining that he wasn’t immediately on board. In fact, he had reservations. He shared that he had several discussions with showrunner Jon Watts before making his decision.

In simpler terms, Law said he didn’t jump into the role without considering it carefully because he was anxious about getting it right and not disappointing the large and passionate fanbase of ‘Star Wars’. It makes sense that he feels this way as taking on a role in such a renowned franchise can be intimidating, even for an actor like Law who has expressed his long-standing affection for ‘Star Wars’ previously.

In the design process of his character, Jod Na Nawood (the pirate-inspired Jedi), Law played a significant role, particularly influencing his appearance. The look of this Jedi underwent several transformations due to the actor’s input, even leading to the decision against long hair. Law shared, “Initially, they suggested I would wear a wig for that messy, tousled look.” However, he opposed this idea, stating, “I thought he should have short hair since he wears a helmet. It required some persuasion.” The unique pirate Jedi character is set to add an intriguing element to the series as they breathe life into him.

Law was equally captivated by this segment of the show, eager to uncover the intricacies behind the creation of a Star Wars series, particularly its cinematography. He expressed, “Everything must be processed through the ‘Star Wars’ lens. For instance, there are no buttons in Star Wars – just ties and buckles. Velcro? Yes, it exists, but you rarely see it. The directors have certain shots they prohibit. You can’t move through the glass of a spaceship; you must stay outside or inside. I find that fascinating. When you watch the shot, it feels like you’re in Star Wars.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew arrives on Disney+ on December 3.
