Star Wars Skeleton Crew BTS Photos Reveal Cut Female Jedi

“Skeleton Crew” felt like a breath of fresh air for “Star Wars”: an Amblin-inspired revamp that gave its all-ages title far, far away to the galaxyan adventure starring children way in over their heads.

The show follows a group of teenagers living in a lovely, suburban Anytown, USA-like planet, who find an old spaceship and head out into the vastness of the galaxy… only to realize that it sucks and is full of violence. pirates who want to kill them. Desperate to get home, the children team up with a tired middle-aged man with Force abilities called Jod to try to find the way back to their home planet – which is also home to a huge treasure that legendary. among pirates.

“Skeleton Crew” expands what “Star Wars” can and should be, giving us a story that is not tied to the larger story, contains no cameos from major legacy characters, and has a quite different than anything we’ve seen before in the galaxy. far, far It’s also a show with plenty of weird little weird creatures that really make this feel like a galaxy full of wonders.

One of the show’s greatest strengths is Jude Law’s Jod Na Nawood, a Jedi-trained pirate scum who is as skilled with a blade and the Force as he is treacherous and sure to think only of himself . In the end, we finally learn Jod’s back storyand how he was found as a young boy by Jedi on the run after the purge, but according to a new behind-the-scenes photo, it seems we’re almost getting a look at Jedi Master Jod.

Jod Na Nawood is one of the best characters that “Star Wars” has presented in years. He’s super fun to watch, and great with kids, but he’s also a silver-tongued pirate willing to betray and sell out everyone he cares about if it means getting his hands on some cold, hard credits. Still, there’s something tragic about this guy – who’s not a pirate pretending to be a Jedi, but actually rather strong in the Force – having his entire worldview destroyed by the tragic, brutal death of his master. You see, Jod trained as a Jedi in the time after the Order 66 purge. When he and his master were discovered by the forces of the Empire, they killed her in front of him.

One thing that is interesting about Jod is that he is never redeemed in the course of “Skeleton Crew.” He does some good things, sure, and his story is sad, but it never feels like an excuse or a way to erase his bad deeds. However, his sad story could have been even sadder. Actress Yasmine Al Massri took to Instagram to share some behind-the-scenes images of a scene she was supposed to appear in for “Skeleton Crew” where she played a Jedi – the first Arab female Jedi, in fact. Although she doesn’t confirm whether or not she was playing Jod’s master, the post includes videos of some combat training, so it would make sense that the cut scene depicts the death of Jod’s master.

It is unfortunate that the scene has been deleted, and given the abysmal ratings for “Skeleton Crew” it feels unlikely that we will get more of this story. Still, there’s always hope that the flashback to the death of Jod’s unnamed master will make it to the screen if Jod himself returns for more adventures.
