Character: While initially thought to be a Jedi, Na Nawood may be simply a Force user, or something else entirely. Described as a mysterious rogue, Jod crosses paths with a group of lost children, and they create a partnership with him to ensure their survival in a dangerous galaxy. Speaking to Screen Rant, Law told us:
“The mystery was the key. Knowing the scale of the universe now and therefore what it might be like to survive in that meant I could draw on all sorts of influences and inspirations. Obviously, the character himself has that potential because he’s slightly contradictory, duplicitous, and multi-faceted. He’s a survivor, but he’s clearly quick-witted and changeable.”
