The new images for the upcoming Star Wars: Skeleton Crew finally reveal more about Jaleel White’s role, which has been undisclosed since the Family Matters alum was announced to have joined the cast of the coming-of-age series.
Though it has already been confirmed that White is playing a pirate role, past images and trailers did not specify which pirate the actor is playing. But now that the release date for the upcoming Star Wars series is getting closer, Lucasfilm has finally shared the first official look at White’s Star Wars: Skeleton Crew character.
Who will Jaleel White play in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew?
The newly released photos show Jude Law‘s Jod Na Nawood and the first-ever look at the space pirates, including White as Gunter. He will be joined by Marti Matulis as Vane, performance artist Stephan Oyoung as Brutus (which will be voiced by Frank Tatasciore), Mike Estes as Pax, and Orange is the New Black’s Dale Soules as Chaelt.
