It's insane how much I was rooting for him even when I shouldn't lol. Also Jod threatening to behead the children with a blue lightsaber was some pretty messed up imagery in the overall Star Wars world. What a performance.

One of the great things about Treasure Island is that Long John Silver is a complete bastard and yet you root for him when you shouldn't.

It was published in 1883. The likeable bastard pirate is a good and well-established trope.

While the pirate accent comes from the 1950 Disney adaptation.
