Episode 8 of Skeleton Crew reveals just how powerful the Force is with Judd

This article contains Spoilers For Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Episode VIII, “The Real Good Guys”.

“Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” is a show full of puzzling mysteries, but one stands above all others: what exactly is he dealing with? Jude Law’s complex character, Jude Na Nawood? At first, this outsider is to pirates what Han Solo (Harrison Ford) is to smugglers – a charming rogue who may be a bit mysterious, but who always comes around in the end. However, as the show progresses, the more benevolent aspects of the character come into action.

by skeleton crew episode 5, Aptly titled “You’ve Got a Lot to Learn About Pirates,” it’s clear that Jude is a criminal in every sense of the word, and has only been using Wim (Ravi Cabot Conyers), Vern (Ryan Keira Armstrong), and KB (Kiriana Krater). and Neil (voiced by Robert Timothy Smith) to gain access to the riches of Aten. However, the episode keeps some things about him in the dark before the season finale. We still don’t know which of Jude’s many names – if any – is his real name, and it’s still unclear how Force-sensitive he really is.

Although we never find out Good’s real name, “The Real Good Guys” reveals just how powerful the force is with the pirate captain. The children have been suspicious for some time that Judd’s relatively simple telekinetic displays of power are just a hoax, but that is not the case at all. Not only is the man truly Force-sensitive, he’s also strong enough to pull off many classic Jedi moves, from shoving people with the Force to blocking multiple blaster shots with a lightsaber. Judd may not be a real Jedi, but when it comes to the Force, he’s pretty much the real deal.

Aside from his sensitivity to the Force, Jude’s general tendency to favor conman’s methods over violence and his seemingly genuine desire to avoid harming children finally receive an explanation. As it turns out, Judd was a poor street kid who was captured by a Jedi who was then on the run. The heartbreaking matter 66authorizing the Galactic Empire to execute all members of the Jedi Order. Unfortunately, poor Judd’s temporary Jedi training had only begun after his newfound master had been captured and murdered before his eyes.

This appears to be the incident that disillusioned and corrupted Judd, but thanks to his exposure to Jedi teachings, he retained more than his Force skills. Some of his morals still remain and are evident in the way he flatly refuses to raise his hand against innocent people. Even when Wim and Fern are at gunpoint near the end of the episode, he chooses to drop his weapon rather than kill them and retrieve his lightsaber.

In the end, Judd turns out to be nothing more than a tragic and desperate man who has been on the receiving end of so many hard blows that he believes life doesn’t have much on its plate. In another version of his story, he may have met some true friends along the way — his skeleton crew, if you will — and transformed into a much more heroic character. Perhaps, if Star Wars: Skeleton Crew gets a second season, admitting defeat and reflecting on his actions will give us a Jude willing to use his silver tongue and Force abilities for purposes that don’t involve stealing the credits.

The entire first season of “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” is now streaming on Disney+.
