New Skeleton Crew characters revealed in merchandise leak
If one thing has been constant when it comes to Skeleton Crew, the series has been quite the victim of merchandise leaks. The latest is no exception, revealing a better look at one character and revealing a completely new one.
As reported by user Star Wars Meg via Twitter, part of the Bag Clip line gives fans a better look as well as the name of a character seen in the first trailer. The character is an Owl-like alien, and it's revealed this person is called "Kim." The other character is brand new. They are the same species as the blue-elephant main character, Neel. The leak has their name as "Jorka," and it's unknown at this time how the person may be related to Neel.
Looking at the full leak of the Star Wars Bag Clips, one interesting thing stood out to me. The Shistavanen pirate, AKA the Wolf Man, named Brutus, was first revealed at D23 2024 and later in official images, is part of this wave of merchandise. What caught my interest is that he's labeled as "Pirate Captain."
This is interesting to me because of who we don't see in this lineup. It's been confirmed for some time that Vane, the Nikto pirate from Season 3 of The Mandalorian, was going to be a big part of this show. However, he's not even shown to be in this merch lineup. And we can see that he's not even the pirate captain, meaning he is not in charge of this group. He's a lackey again who has joined them.
Skeleton Crew has been quite the victim of multiple merchandise leaks. While this isn't unheard of, the series has had an unusually high number for a Star Wars show. It's how we got our first look at the kid main characters, how we learned their names and the name of Jude Law's Jedi character. Until the show comes out in December, who knows what else we'll learn?
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew arrives on Disney+ on December 3.
