Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episode 6Skeleton Crew episode 6 is full of exciting Easter eggs and Star Wars references. There are also some really great nods to classic pirate lore and pop culture. This is especially true with Jude Law's Jod Na Nawood reuniting with his old crew with intentions to plunder the secret missing treasure planet known as At Attin.

As seen in Skeleton Crew episode 5, Jod betrayed Wim, Fern, KB, and Neel the moment he discovered the location of At Attin and the legendary Captain Tak Rennod's message that the planet held one of the last Old Republic mints, capable of creating an "eternal treasure". Now the kids are shown in this new episode trying to get back to their ship while Jod attempts to convince his old crew to trust him once more. To that end, here are all the biggest and best Star Wars Easter eggs, references, and pirate nods we found in Skeleton Crew episode 6.

22 A Nod To The Grinch?

Perhaps Not Just A Luke Skywalker Homage

A closeup of Jim Carrey as The Grinch in How The Grinch Stole Christmas

The kids going down the trap door chute feels a lot like Luke Skywalker going down the trash chute in The Empire Strikes Back after dueling Darth Vader. However, it may also be an homage to Ron Howard's The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and the trash chute to Mt. Crumpit. After all, Bryce Dallas Howard directed this particular episode (Ron Howard's daughter), and the chute does see the kids landing in the snow, having just been inside the depths of Skull Ridge Mountain.

Shout out to ScreenCrush who pointed out in their breakdown video that Bryce Dallas Howard did an homage to Ron Howard's Apollo 13 in Chapter 11 of The Mandalorian, further ing The Grinch nod here in Skeleton Crew episode 6.

21 Also A Nod To The Goonies?

The Water Slide To One Eyed Willie's Ship

It's also fun to see the parallels between Skeleton Crew's slide from Rennod's lair and the water slide at the end of The Goonies that led to One Eyed Willie's ship. This is especially true when you look at the end of both with their multiple exit holes for each of the slides.

20 KB's Failing Augments

A Nod To A Classic OT Character

A significant portion of this episode focuses on KB (Kyriana Kratter) and her cybernetic augments that help keep her alive. Alongside the confirmation that she needs her "augs" after suffering an accident that made them necessary, KB its to Wim and later Fern that there are some things that she just can't do. As such, this level of context and exploration into the uses of augments is fascinating, especially when thinking about Empire Strikes Back's Lobot, Lando Calrissian's right-hand man and the first Star Wars character to be shown with augments from the original trilogy (whose origins and backstory were quite mysterious for quite some time).

19 Jod Getting Caught Parallels Smee

Covered In Stolen Treasure

Jod gets caught by security and his former pirate crew while being covered in treasure stolen from Rennod's lair. As such, this feels like a strong parallel to Mister Smee fleeing Captain Hook in Hook before being caught by The Lost Boys. Likewise, the parallel gets even better when SM-33 follows Jod out of the sewers covered in treasure as well.

18 Skull Ridge Mountain Has A Xi'Dec Guest

First Seen in The Last Jedi

Xi'Dec in Skeleton Crew Episode 6

When the pirates confront Jod, an alien Xi'Dec can be seen as one of the Skull Ridge Mountain Spa's various guests. First seen in The Last Jedi, a Xi'Dec opera singer was briefly featured on Canto Bight during the fathier chase. Again, special thanks to ScreenCrush for catching this one!

17 “You Bilge Rats!”

A Classic Pirate Insult

While the pirates take Jod aka Silvo into custody, one of the pirates can be heard calling his fellow crew "bilge rats". This is a classic pirate insult, one that can be heard across all sorts of media featuring sea-faring pirates, and now in Skeleton Crew as well.

16 Trash Crabs

Not Unlike A New Hope's Dianoga

There's always something lurking in the trash in Star Wars. Luke, Leia, and Han discovered this first-hand with the dianoga in A New Hope's trash compactor scene. Likewise, Darth Maul survived for years hidden on a garbage world following his Phantom Menace defeat. Now, Wim discovers a colony of trash crabs in Skeleton Crew episode 6, who eventually reveal themselves to be far more sinister than they initially appear.

15 The Crabs Have Been Seen Before

A Star Wars Choose Your Adventure Book

Luke and Leia Choose Your Own Adventure

Also pointed out in ScreenCrush's breakdown video, the crabs have been seen before in the established Star Wars canon in 2018's Choose Your Destiny: A Luke & Leia Adventure by Cavan Scott and Elsa Charretier.

14 The Pirates' Space Station

It Looks Pretty Familiar

Pirate Lair in Skeleton Crew Episode 6

The space station serving as Brutus' pirate lair is reminiscent of the design for Ranzar Malk's Roost space station seen in The Mandalorian season 1, episode 6. Likewise, it also looks like it could be one of the Republic's orbital medical stations used during The Clone Wars.

13 The “Mad” Captain Silvo

The Name Now Feels Even More Notorious

Jude Law's Jod shouting at someone angrily in Skeleton Crew

Jod's former crew add to the name they all know their former captain by, calling him The "Mad" Captain Silvo. This serves to make his name even more pirate-y, and he likely earned the "Mad" name after one too many "big scores" never panned out (as was shown in Skeleton Crew's first episode).
