Skeleton Crew will be with us next week, and ahead of the very welcome arrival of the show StarWars.com takes a look at the pirates of the New Republic era, including the legendary Hondo Ohnaka, pirate king Gorian Shard from The Mandalorian, and the Nikto pirate Vane, who will soon be seen in Skeleton Crew.
Vane is a callous, troublemaking Nikto who first ran afoul of the Mandalorian Din Djarin during a visit to Nevarro. The bounty hunter watched as Vane and Greef Karga exchanged a few tense words when his group of pirates mistook the local school for the cantina. When Karga refused to let them enter, Vane reminded him that the funds for the building came from a cut of Shard’s profits. Karga won the resulting standoff and sent along a message for Shard: Nevarro is no longer friendly to pirates.
The pirates weren’t done yet, though, and they opened fire on Din Djarin as he departed the planet. Shortly after the Mandalorian escaped their ambush in space, Vane, his captain, and their crew returned to Nevarro for vengeance. Vane took to the skies in his snub fighter once again in pursuit of Djarin. But as the other Mandalorians arrived and the tide of battle turned in their favor, Vane showed his true colors. He cowardly fled into space, abandoning his captain and crew. And he’s about to turn up again in Skeleton Crew.
We had the chance to chat with Vane actor Marti Matulis at this summer’s London Film and Comic Con, which you can hear below.
