Neel’s mom gets the “I have a bad feeling about this” drop AND is the first one to try to run away with the communicator. We know where our boy gets it from now.

33 definitely made a choice there allowing Unclaimses

I’m leaning towards “I want to see Jod die a painful death” because threatening the parents with the lightsaber is about the last straw with him.

I think it’s all a bluff from him. My thinking is there’s some Jedi in there somewhere, it’s been buried by pain and greed but he doesn’t want to hurt the kids or parents. Maybe they go full prick and he dies a glorious death though.

He didn't even kill the mouse inside 33's head...he may just be a "force user" and not have much if any actual training too...or other than the cold blooded murder prior isn't actually that dark, and really is a fallen Jedi, who knows.

I noticed he didn't kill the mouse either, I thought he was going to stomp on it. He could just be a force user, but little things like that make me think there's a Jedi training there, to some extent.

Yeah, I clocked this, he raises his foot as if he's about to stomp the mouse (Which would have been the Maul/Dooku/Vader/Palpatine/Kylo thing to do) but instead he scoots itt o the side with his foot - felt like an intentional way of showing Jod can't bring himself to kill small things (or things that aren't a threat).

I don’t think that merchant he killed by sending him out an airlock in the first episode was a threat.

Now that I think of it, sending someone out an airlock is like the space pirate version of making someone walk the plank lol.

I’m trying to decide whether having all the gases torn from me and all the fluids in my body boiling away as I freeze in the vacuum of space is worse than drowning.

I realize the first one sounds worse but I imagine it’s pretty quick.
