Is Tak Renaud the supervisor?

This article contains Spoilers For Episode 7 of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, “We’re Gonna Be in Big Trouble.”

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Episode 7 is full of reveals about the big space pirates. It doesn’t just do that Jude Na Nawood (Jude Law) — or whatever his real name was — fully embraced his role as the show’s true villain, but killed Brutus (voiced by Fred Tatasciore, with Stephen O’Young as the performer) almost unceremoniously when the scowling Shestavanen was captured in Onyx. Cinder Claw. Even SM-33 (voiced by Nick Frost) is shown to be able to transcend his hitherto strict adherence to the Pirate Code by siding with the kids when push comes to shove, despite having his head cut off for his trouble.

Among all these big twists, the episode also subtly teases another, potentially more important pirate-themed revelation — the true identity of famed pirate captain Tuck Raynaud, who may turn out to be none other than the planet’s mysterious overseer (in his voice). By Stephen Fry). “Skeleton Crew” made a point of portraying Renaud as a ruthless, almost mythically capable character whose greatest feat is finding lost items. Planet of the Old Republic of Atten. While the phrase “we’re going to be in big trouble” veers relatively clearly from Raynaud’s lore, attentive viewers can pick up several hints that all but confirm that the mysterious pirate and the equally mysterious person in Upper Attin are the same person.

Tak Renaud, legendary pirate captain and former owner of Onyx Cinder, is mentioned in song and legend. His huge gold treasure at Lanoba shows that he walked the walk as well. However, despite the constant name-dropping, it’s largely shrouded in mystery, and the most we’ve seen is a suitably mysterious hologram in “Skeleton Crew” Episode 6, “Zero Friends Again”.

But this may change soon. The big Raynaud-themed Episode 7 reveals that Onyx Cinder is originally Attin’s ship, enabling her to bypass the planet’s defenses. As such, Tak Renaud must have already been on the planet when he acquired the ship. Likewise, someone must have returned it before the kids found it in Episode 1 of “Skeleton Crew.” All of this suggests that Tak Renaud is originally from Aten, and likely has a security clearance high enough to leave the planet for long periods of time. . Since the only person whose face we have yet to see is the supervisor, the evidence is mounting.

There is certainly conflicting information as to whether Raynaud was alive at all. While the pirate lore Jude read states that the captain simply disappeared, SM-33 said that Renaud’s concubine stabbed him to death before the ship crashed on Attain. However, the robot hackers have been under secret orders to provide false information before, so it is entirely possible that Reynaud is still out. Combine this with the fact that Renaud’s hologram looks very similar to what Superintendent’s voice actor Stephen Fry might look like in an adorable pirate costume from “Star Wars,” and it’s tempting to expect a cool identity-reveal scene when Disney+ drops “Star Wars: “Skeleton Crew” Episode 8 on January 14, 2025.
