"Those are pirates!" Skeleton Crew co-creator Christopher Ford said of the new characters. "Space pirates." But not all of these pirates are new; the pink-skinned fellow on the left is Vane, a member of the pirate gang led by Gorian Shard that terrorized the planet Navarro back in The Mandalorian Season 3.
The firearm holstered on Jod's belt and the guns strapped to the wolf-life Brutus' bandolier don't look like typical Star Wars blasters. Their long barrels and curved grips instead resemble flintlock pistols, like the kind used in old duels.
Skeleton Crew is set in the New Republic Era established by The Mandalorian, placing it after Return of the Jedi but before The Force Awakens. Perhaps these space pirates are the predecessor of - or at least an influence on - the Kanjiklub.
