Kyriana Kratter said 'Death' is ahead for the next 2 episodes. Jude Law said Jod's backstory will be revealed.

Get ready everybody, another Order 66 flashback is incoming.

Okay having watched the episode now, it certainly got dark. However, no Jod backstory. I'm not sure they'll go the redemption route now though and he may be a straight villain.   

[u/CarsonWentzGOAT1 → u/ChanceVance]

it could just be a family member of his passing. I don't think order 66 flashback is happening.

[u/ChanceVance → u/CarsonWentzGOAT1]

Well he's got to be formerly involved with the Jedi in some way.

Personally, I don't expect an Order 66 flashback per se but I hazard a guess he was a young man who was evading Inquisitors before joining up with pirates. So maybe something like that.

Is there a reason no one thinks the force manipulation thing is a total lie and he doesn’t just have magneto gloves. Maybe I missed an instance or something but I’ve been casually paying attention and whenever he uses “the force” he always has gloves on and the object is always metal. Also I’d enjoy the character being like a complete wizard of oz behind the curtain type sham. I feel like it would fit his arc

[u/ChanceVance → u/threeglasses]

It's a possibility but dropping the Qui-Gon line and having Wim's romanticized ideal of what Jedi are like shattered seems better fitting if he was indeed a former Jedi.
