New images of Jude Law's character in Law hinted that there's more to his Jedi than meets the eye, yet new pictures of Skeleton Crew have given plenty of information on Jod Na Nawood already.

Pictures shared by Star Wars galaxy map, and Jod Na Nawood looks exactly as wild as the adventures in store for him.

What Jude Law's New Kind Of Jedi Means For Star Wars

Star Wars canon has introduced plenty of types of Jedi over the years, from sticklers for the rules like Obi-Wan Kenobi to more laid-back and risk-taking Jedi like Qui-Gon Jinn. Jude Law's Jod Na Nawood, however, seems to be something else entirely, and he could shake up Star Wars. The emphasis on Jod's pirate appearance and, presumably, his demeanor doesn't really coincide with the teachings of the Jedi Order. Given Jod's age and the fact that Skeleton Crew takes place during the New Republic era of the Order 66 survivors.

The first two episodes of Skeleton Crew premiere on Disney+ on December 3.

If Jod Na Nawood was a survivor of Order 66, then Skeleton Crew could be showing a darker path for former Jedi than anything else in Star Wars previously has. There were, of course, fallen Jedi after Order 66, from the various Inquisitors to Baylan Skoll of Ahsoka and more. Jod, however, doesn't seem like a typical fallen Jedi. Instead, Jod could be an example of what some survivors did after the Jedi Purge: give in to their base desires. Pirates famously covet money and riches, and Jod Na Nawood could be proof that without the Order, some Jedi sought those treasures out for themselves.

We'll Finally Get To See A Jedi Use A Blaster

Setting aside the potential for Jod Na Nawood to introduce new Order 66 survivor lore, Jude Law's Jedi has another unique opportunity. He could be the first live-action Jedi to really use a blaster. Jedi have used blasters extensively in the past, but there was always a level of secrecy or desperation to it. Luke and Rey Skywalker, for example, only used their blasters until they mastered their lightsabers. Jedi like Ezra Bridger and Cal Kestis used their blasters to give them an edge they needed to survive. Likewise, Obi-Wan Kenobi only used one for secretive missions or for his very survival.

Jod Na Nawood, however, displays his blaster proudly on his belt, front and center. There doesn't seem to be any level of deception or subterfuge involved, and Jod actually seems to be displaying his blaster. That could be a hint that he's not using the blaster to help him survive, but he's actually relying on it as a primary weapon. In any case, Jude Law's Jod Na Nawood seems to be a very unique Jedi, and Skeleton Crew is already looking like a very unique Star Wars show.
