    Star Wars: Skeleton Crew trailer teases potential Hondo cameo

    Online Niel Posted on

    The full Star Wars: Skeleton Crew trailer is finally out, and the big pirate reveal leaves the door wide open for a live-action Hondo appearance.

    If you weren’t already convinced that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew it was basically just The Goonies in Space, then just watch the trailer. After dropping on November 1st, the first real look at the upcoming Star Wars TV show proves that children are at the forefront of this adventure.

    But cuteness and ’80s-style family antics aside, the trailer also gives fans confirmation of what’s to come. Disney+ series it’s all about. As a group of kids get lost in space, they need the help of a mysterious man (Jude Law) to return home and avoid capture by space pirates.

    Space pirates, you say? That sounds a lot like an opportunity to finally bring Hondo Ohnaka into the mix.

    “Pirates??? Will we finally see a live action Hondo?” asked one Reddit user.

    For those who need reminding, Hondo is an eccentric and infamous Weequay pirate who has made a name for himself throughout the galaxy through his illegal exploits. From his humble beginnings to his rise as an outlaw, Hondo’s backstory solidified his place in the canon after making his first appearance on The Clone Wars TV show.

    Due to his lovable and goofy nature, he also earned a spot at Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge, both in animatronic form and as a live-action character in a video.

    The chance to see him in Skeleton Crew as a full-fledged character seems too good to be true for some Star Wars fans.

    “I know we want this to be original and not the cameo of the week like some shows have become. But heck, I’d make an exception for Hondo. If someone in Star Wars has to swear, at least they have an argument,” said another Reddit comment.

    “Good opportunity to bring Hondo and Dr. Aphra to live action!” one user wrote.

    “We just want Star Wars stories. Not all of them need to be interconnected or to be at the level of impact of the universe. Edit: Except for Hondo. Because Hondo,” another remarked.

    On X, another user he wrote: “I mean they have to have the Star Wars pirate in the Star Wars pirate show.”

    Star Wars: Skeleton Crew arrives on Disney+ on December 3rd.
