Is Tak Rennod a supervisor?

This article contains spoilers for “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,” episode 7, “We're Gonna Be in So Much Trouble.”

“Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” episode 7 is full of big space pirate discoveries. Not only does Jodh Na Navud (Jude Law) — or whatever his real name is — fully embraces his role as the show's true villain, but he almost casually kills Brutus (voiced by Fred Tatasciore and Steven Oyun) in an almost casual way when the snarling Sistavanen is caught in the Onyx. Ash Claw. Even SM-33 (voiced by Nick Frost) shows that he can ignore his hitherto strict adherence to the pirate code, standing up to the kids when pushed, even though he gets cut down for his trouble.

Amongst all these big twists, the episode also sneakily teases another, potentially even more important, pirate-themed revelation – namely the true identity of famed pirate captain Tak Rennod, who could turn out to be none other than the mysterious Planet Warden (voiced). by Stephen Fry). “Skeleton Crew” has taken care to portray Rennod as a ruthless and almost mythically capable figure whose greatest work is finding the missing. Old Republic planet Attin. Although “We're in so much trouble” is relatively clear from Rennod's history, observant viewers can pick up on many hints that only confirm that the mysterious pirate and the equally mysterious Atin above are the same person.

Tak Rennod, the legendary pirate captain and previous owner of the Onyx Cinder, is remembered in song and legend. His vast hoard of gold on Lanup suggests that he also walked. Despite the constant name drops, however, he's largely shrouded in mystery, and most of what we've seen of him is a suitably shadowy hologram “Skeleton Crew” Episode 6, “Zero Friends Again”.

However, that may soon change. The Great Rennod-themed episode 7 reveals that the Onyx Cinder is originally an Attin ship, allowing it to bypass the planet's defenses. Therefore, Tak Rennod was already on the planet when he bought the ship. Also, someone must have given it away before the kids found it in “Skeleton Crew” episode 1. All of this suggests that Tak Rennod is from Athens and probably has a high enough security clearance to leave the planet for an extended period of time. . As the only such person whose face we have yet to see is the Warden, the evidence continues to mount.

True, there is conflicting information about whether Rennod is even alive. As Jod reads the pirates' story that the captain simply disappeared, SM-33 is told that Rennod's concubine fatally stabbed him before the ship crashed into Attin. However, the pirate droid has received secret orders to provide false information before, so it's entirely possible that Rennod is still out there. Combine that with the fact that Rennod's hologram looks a lot like the Warden's voice actor, Stephen Fry, in a cool “Star Wars” pirate costume, and it's tempting to expect a nice identity reveal scene when Disney+ releases “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.” Episode 8 January 14, 2025.
