The display, seen byScreen Rantat D23, reveals a number of brand-new characters to be introduced inSkeleton Crewbut also includes one surprising familiar face. Specifically, Vane, the pirate fromThe Mandalorian, also seems to be returning to theStar Warsscreen.

Upcoming Star Wars Shows: Story, Casts & Everything We Know
Several exciting Star Wars TV shows are set to be released on Disney+ in the coming years from the realm of both live-action and animation.
Vane’s New Crew Will Be A Formidable Threat
Based on the D23 display, it seemsVane will be returning to theStar Warsscreen with a pirate crew, which could certainly spell trouble for the characters ofSkeleton Crew. After all, inThe Mandalorian, Vane managed to hold his own against Din Djarin, demonstrating that he is a considerable threat. Din Djarin is an incredibly skilled bounty hunter and one ofStar Wars’fiercest characters—especially compared to characters who similarly do not have the Force.
This will prove particularly interesting given what is currently known aboutSkeleton Crew. Thus far,Star Warshas revealed that the show will be a coming-of-age story focused on a group of children lost in the galaxy alongside Jude Law’s character. Clearly, a group of children will be significantly more vulnerable when faced with a threat, therefore suggesting that Vane and his pirates could be formidable adversaries in the show.
What precisely this story entails remains to be seen.
Of course, what precisely this story entails remains to be seen. Yes, it seems as though Jude Law’s character and this group of children may face off against these pirates at some point, butStar Warsis full of surprises. In fact,Star Wars’latest release,The Acolyte, already proved that. Although trailers for the show seemed to reveal much about the plot, in truth,The Acolytehad plot twist after plot twist, and it truly felt as though anything could happen.
This will undoubtedly be true ofSkeleton Crewas well, especially in light of how little has been revealed about it. However, that is about to change, as the trailer for the show is impending. Nevertheless, for the time being, this D23 display suggests thatStar Wars: Skeleton Crewwill featureThe Mandalorian’sVane and a new cast ofStar Warspirates.
