Star Wars: Skeleton Crew may soon see its characters return, albeit in a way that might surprise fans. As the series nears the conclusion of its inaugural season, the fates of its beloved characters remain unclear, sparking speculation among viewers.

The Skeleton Crew series has garnered acclaim for its engaging narrative and the talented performances of its cast. With only two episodes left, the destinies of key characters such as Jod Na Nawood (played by Jude Law), Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), KB (Kyriana Kratter), and Neel (Robert Timothy Smith) hang in the balance. Although season 2 plans are already being discussed by creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford, it appears that some characters may return, even if Disney does not greenlight another season.

According to reputable industry insider Daniel Richtman, there is a strong possibility that Skeleton Crew characters will feature in Filoni’s crossover film. This movie is projected to be the climax of intertwined narratives from various Star Wars shows, including The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and The Book of Boba Fett. However, Richtman did not clarify which specific characters might appear from Skeleton Crew. While it is likely that the series’ main characters will return, the ensemble cast offers numerous possibilities for engaging cameos.

Details surrounding the plot of Filoni’s Star Wars movie remain scarce as Skeleton Crew is still unfolding. Nevertheless, the series tantalizingly weaves several mysteries, particularly concerning Jod Na Nawood’s multifaceted identity. Additionally, an ominous atmosphere envelops the planet At Attin, where the Skeleton Crew children originate. The resolution of these narrative threads could elucidate how Skeleton Crew intertwines with Filoni’s movie, which, at this moment, appears somewhat detached from the ongoing arcs in The Mandalorian and Ahsoka.

Filoni’s upcoming Star Wars film is poised to feature Thrawn as the central antagonist, a detail foreshadowed in previous Star Wars series. The Mandalorian alluded to Moff Gideon’s affiliation with the Shadow Council—Imperial Warlords conspiring to destabilize the New Republic post-Empire. Within their discussions, the whereabouts of Thrawn were a focal point, marking him as the potential leader for the Empire’s remnants, which had mysteriously disappeared after the Star Wars Rebels series. The recent Ahsoka series resolved aspects of Thrawn’s narrative, revealing his reappearance in the core Star Wars galaxy alongside an army of Stormtroopers, seemingly set to rekindle the Empire’s lost power.

The inclusion of elements from the Shadow Council in the The Mandalorian and Grogu film suggests a continuation of these established storylines. Currently, Thrawn’s resurgence along with the remnants of the Empire forms a significant link within the overlapping narrative threads of the Star Wars universe. Should Skeleton Crew become part of the ensemble in Filoni’s film, there is a strong possibility that these characters will grapple with the ongoing struggle between Imperial loyalists and the New Republic—a conflict that may also shed light on the origins of the First Order.

The next episode of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is set to air this Tuesday at 9:00 PM EST on Disney Plus.
