Skeleton Crew: 3 final predictions for the show

BBG News

As a seasoned Star Wars enthusiast with over three decades of galactic adventures under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and nostalgia as I gaze upon the trailer for “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.” Having navigated through the galaxy far, far away from Tatooine to the icy expanses of Hoth, the murky depths of Dagobah, and the bustling metropolis of Coruscant, I’ve seen it all – or so I thought.

Get ready for the grand arrival of our Skeleton Crew! After what feels like forever, it’s nearly time to embark on an exciting journey tomorrow with four fantastic youngsters and a gifted Force user. As we countdown to the main event, let’s indulge in some pre-show speculations!

Here are 3 predictions for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew!

The makers of the show have indicated that there will be no unexpected appearances similar to Jude Law’s character turning out to be Palpatine. Yet, Jon Watts hinted at keeping an open mind about everything, suggesting Hondo might make an appearance. Given his presence in Galaxy’s Edge and a glimpse of his ship in the trailer, it seems plausible that he’s part of the sequel trilogy timeline. His role, if he appears, would likely be minor, perhaps as a background character or a brief cameo similar to Zeb in Season 3 of The Mandalorian.

Four young characters hail from what appears to be an idyllic suburban neighborhood, but they soon learn, based on previous promotional content, that their world is unknown to those beyond their galaxy. The trailer suggests the presence of droid cameras wandering among them, focusing particularly on Wim’s father, which Fern’s mother warns him could indicate things are not as they seem. I speculate that this could be a New Republic prison, possibly part of the Amnesty Program as depicted in “The Mandalorian.” Given that this is set within the Mandoverse, such a connection would nicely complement the larger narrative. Additional sources like Alexander Freed’s “Alphabet Squadron” reveal that the New Republic operated prison camps for even the lesser criminals among Imperials. This mysterious planet in “Skeleton Crew,” then, might be for those who were not truly evil but had no other options (similar to Tam Ryvora’s grandfather from “Star Wars Resistance,” who worked in a factory due to lack of alternatives). It’s peculiar that their world seems so perfect, yet it remains unheard-of elsewhere. There appears to be a hidden darkness lurking beneath the surface.

This is the outlier of the three predictions and the one I hope doesn’t happen. Still, it would be a very Star Wars kind of story. Wim is the dreamer who wants more adventures. He gets his wish, going on a journey across the galaxy. Meeting a Force user like Jod Na Nawood, Wim could discover he’s destined for bigger things. He could be Force sensitive, and Jod could become his master. It’s a tried and true Star Wars story, so I can’t rule it out. Though, I think letting the kids just be kids on a wild trek across the galaxy is all the story needs.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew arrives on Disney+ Monday December 2.
