Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A white-haired Talpiddian was a prisoner of Brutus's pirate crew who was kept in a brig in the underbelly of the asteroid Borgo Prime.[1] Around 9 ABY,[3] he[2] was electrocuted with an electro-shock prod by a local guard. The incident was used by Jod Na Nawood as a distraction. With the guard attending to another inmate,[1] the man[4] was free to walk the Skeleton Crew younglings across the hallway without being noticed, allowing them all to escape.[1]

Behind the scenes

The electrocuted Talpiddian debuted in the third episode of the live-action television series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, "Very Interesting, As an Astrogation Problem,"[1] which was aired on December 10, 2024.[5]

  3. Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition, SWInsider "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well. StarWars.com SWCA 2022: 20 Highlights from Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes place in the same timeframe as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Ahsoka—the latter of which can also be dated to 9 ABY following the reasoning here. As such, Skeleton Crew must take place around 9 ABY as well.
