After decades of successful roles in film, TV and theater Jude Law is hopping franchises and stepping into the galaxy far, far away in the role of Jod Na Nawood in the upcoming Skeleton Crew and speaking with GQ Magazine he looks back at that illustrious career and the pressure of swapping one ‘vociferous fandom‘ for another

I ask if his experiences of these two particularly vociferous fandoms adds any spice to his recent decision to join the Star Wars universe, in this December’s Disney+ series Skeleton Crew. “It makes me a little bit nervous, if I’m honest, in the same way that I felt a responsibility to really make sure Dumbledore had a heart and soul that was considered and true,” he says. “It’s the same with this. I mean, there are haters everywhere, it seems nowadays, unfortunately. People have very acute opinions of this galaxy and how it should be handled. Obviously, you hope you’re going to get a majority of them on your side, and you’re aware that you may not win all of them over.”
