Back in August, a D23 display gave us a first glimpse of the pirate villains who will be introduced in Lucasfilm's next Disney+ Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew.

We larned that Vane - The Pirate King Gorian Shard's Nikto right-hand man from season 3 of The Mandalorian - will lead this motley bunch, and he'll be joined by a Shistavanen, a Gran and a formidable looking droid with a peg-leg.

Now, EW has revealed an official look at these pirates, as well as their character names and which actors will be playing them.

The crew will consist of: Vane (Marti Matulis), Gunter (Jaleel White), Brutus (Frank Tatasciore, performance artist: Stephan Oyoung), Pax (performance artist: Mike Estes), and Chaelt (Dale Soules).

Check out the new image at the link below, along with another look at Jude Law as the mysterious Jod Na Nawood, who co-creator Christopher Fored describes as a "whole new kind of Jedi."

“With the era we're in, we're kind of getting to play with that lawless thing,” says Ford of the show's pirate elements. “The Empire is gone, and so we're playing with a part of the galaxy that has a resurgence of piracy. Pirates are talked about so much in Star Wars. People would call Han Solo a pirate and he'd be like, ‘How dare you?’ And we've seen some awesome pirates in the animated shows. So this was something where both [executive producers] Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau were really excited to do more pirate stuff.”

In addition to Law, the titular crew will consist of Ravi Cabot-Conyers as Wim, Kyriana Kratter as KB, Robert Timothy Smith as Neel, and Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Fern. We also recently got word on a brand-new cast member, with Nic Frost (Spaced, Hot Fuzz) providing the voice of a droid named SM 33.

Have a look at some previously-released stills below.

"When four kids make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, they get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy," according to the show's official synopsis. "Finding their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined."

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is set to premiere on Disney+ on December 3. Are you looking forward to the show? Let us know in the comment section.

"New Kind Of Jedi"......thats all we've gotta from disney, it'd be nice to see a traditional jedi for once.

@harryba11zack - What would you consider a "traditional" Jedi? Like, what are some characteristics, or who would be an example?

@harryba11zack - So, unambiguously heroic? I can certainly see the appeal. I think there's room for ambiguity in stories about what are, essentially, space cops, but it's okay to have some balance between morally gray and outright corrupt Jedi with some pure, by the books types. In recent Star Wars, other than Obi Wan Kenobi, I guess only Jecki from Acolyte comes close.

@Clintthahamster - a corrupt Jedi is no longer a Jedi. The Jedi are essentially a religion and police force, yeah there’s always gonna be those that don’t believe but if they stop following the practices then they are exiled. Thoughts are not bad but “they can lead to the dark side”. I understand that morally grey situations occur but the Jedi in the acolyte were portrayed as idiots to move the plot and create that morally gray situation. They were quick to distrust, quick to anger, and also hid their mistakes. None of the Jedi seemed heroic in that to me

@ElricReturns - I find it funny...@harryba11zack ain't wrong, but I've been playing games for years with a new/different kind of jedi. Given the timeframe for this show I'm not surprised though. I think fans forget the Jedi were just as flawed as the Sith. The galaxy doesn't see good and evil until it affects them directly. To them it's just 2 powerful cults going at it, if they just happened to know the Sith are even involved in a particular instance in the first place.

@NonPlayerC - "he Jedi in the acolyte were portrayed as idiots to move the plot and create that morally gray situation."

I saw them more as being portrayed as complacent in the face of decades of peace, smugly certain of their superiority, but rusty when it comes to actually doing the work of keeping the peace. I know that some would prefer to view the Jedi as infallible, but that's boring to me.

"None of the Jedi seemed heroic in that to me"

I'd argue that Jecki was the moral center there, but otherwise, I agree.

@NonPlayerC - Well I mean...who came up with the idea of the "dark side"? Jedi.

@Clintthahamster - what's so wrong to have classic heroic male character for once? i'm so sick of these hollywood writers twisting male characters to be vilified in western movies. because hollyweird nowadays think males are all a$$%^& in real life so we can't have that in media.
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 9/19/2024, 11:21 AM
@Gabimaru - The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, Andor, The Bad Batch, Ahsoka, all had classic heroic male characters, in lead roles in all but one case.

@Gabimaru - Oops, forgot Obi Wan Kenobi.

While I do hope Hondo is in the show , I think the ones we see to be getting in this look cool especially the Wolfman creature.

Steve Urkel being in this was unexpected but still nice to see lol.

Also with that trenchcoat and them saying they want to introduce a new kind of Jedi , it makes me think we are getting a Pirate/Swashbuckler Jedi like Kanan was the “Cowboy Jedi” which is what Filoni called him.

Anyway , looking forward to this!!.

The Villains are giving me Goonies/3 Ninjas vibes, and that's a good thing.

I hope they are bumbling idiots most of the time with like 1 or 2 scenes where they feel threatening.

It's Urkel in space! I was already laughing at this show existing so they didn't have to make it even funnier.
