A question that, 15 seconds into it, basically every one of us answered.
But, sinceits not explicitly stated yet, were here to inform you that yes.
Yes, you were right.

Thats exactly who you thought it was.
The first episode ofSkeleton Crewbegins with a group of pirates hijacking a ship hoping to find loads of credits.
But then you give it a second.
The voice is oddly familiar.
Weve seen that swagger before.
It is, indeed, Jude Laws character Jod Na Nawood.
Thats your first clue.
Its Law behind the mask.
A fact thats bolstered when he appears as a prisoner at the end of the second episode.
The brig is exactly where the pirates wouldve taken their disgraced captain, isnt it?
Plus,Law already told usthat Jod isnt the only name his character has gone by.
I wont tell you which one!
But yeah, its a reference to a character in a very early comic.
So there you have it.
You thought it was Jude Law in the opening of the show and it was.
So, what does that mean for what weve seen so far?
How did Jod Na Nawood rise to become a pirate captain?
Why does he go by Silvo?
Which is his real name?
Where does his Force ability come from?
Was he, at some point, a Jedi as Wim suggests?
Those are questions that havent been answered yet, but surely will soon.
The first two episodes ofSkeleton Creware now streaming on Disney+.
