Hondo Ohnaka's Absence Confirmed

Fans of the Star Wars universe have been buzzing with speculation regarding the potential appearance of the notorious pirate Hondo Ohnaka in the upcoming series, "Skeleton Crew." While many were hopeful, it’s now confirmed that the beloved character from the Clone Wars will not be joining the crew in this installment.

Creators Address the Rumors

In a recent statement, series creators Chris Ford and Jon Watts addressed the rumors surrounding Hondo’s cameo. Although keen-eyed viewers spotted a freighter resembling Hondo's at Port Borgo in Episode 2, Ford clarifies that “we won’t be meeting the Clone Wars pirate.” He added, “We’ll rip off that Band-Aid and say no, we don’t have any Hondo.”

Storyline Constraints

The creators expressed their love for Hondo but stated that the storyline of "Skeleton Crew" did not allow for a substantial role that would do the character justice. “If we were trying to cast him in this, he would be like, ‘This part is not big enough for Hondo!’” Ford humorously noted, highlighting the high expectations that come with such a formidable character.

Future Possibilities for Hondo

However, there is a silver lining for fans! Ford also hinted at the possibility of exploring Hondo’s mythos in future story arcs. “We would love to keep doing this, and keep exploring the whole pirate side of the galaxy, and build up to that,” he said. This opens the door for Hondo’s return in potential future seasons, which has fans eagerly anticipating what’s to come.

Excitement for "Skeleton Crew"

As "Skeleton Crew" kicks off, viewers can expect thrilling new adventures in the Star Wars galaxy, even without Hondo's charismatic presence.
