A new look at the “Star Wars” universe
Episode 6 of “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,” titled “Zero Friends Again,” offered fans of the intergalactic saga a new perspective on the universe created by George Lucas. This series, which tells the story of a group of children seeking adventure and facing ruthless pirates and the search for legendary treasure, brings a welcome freshness to the franchise.
The first space sea shanty
The episode introduces a new element to the “Star Wars” universe: the first space sea shanty. The character Jod Na Nawood, played by Jude Law, recites a song that speaks of the legendary exploits of Captain Tak Rennod aboard the Onyx Cinder. This song, known to all members of the crew, brings the world of pirates to life in “Star Wars”.
An enriched representation of pirates
The “Star Wars” universe has always included pirates, starting with Han Solo, depicted as a pirate in “A New Hope.” However, “Skeleton Crew” brought an additional dimension to this representation by incorporating iconic elements of pirate culture, such as the sea shanty and the tradition of “walking the plank”. This reinforces the richness of the “Star Wars” universe and demonstrates that there is always room for original and captivating stories.
The “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” series continues to captivate fans with new episodes available every Tuesday at 6 p.m. PST on Disney+.
