Skeleton Crew spent the three episodes earlier than the finale slowly peeling away on the secrets and techniques of At Attin. It was revealed that the planet’s long-lost treasure was that it was the Outdated Republic’s mint, capable of print a vast provide of credit. It was additionally revealed that the rationale no person had been capable of go to the planet earlier than was that the barrier surrounding the planet appeared as a maelstrom that destroyed any ship that entered it, with the Onyx Cinder solely capable of each go away and arrive on the planet that it originated on, At Attin. But the thriller round who precisely was working At Attin remained, as The Supervisor was alluded to all through the present and briefly heard however not seen within the penultimate episode.
The ultimate episode revealed that The Supervisor is, in truth, an enormous droid that’s working the planet, voiced by Stephen Fry. Regardless of the residents of At Attin being unfamiliar with the rise of the Empire and the Galactic Civil Conflict, The Supervisor was conscious, as he says the final transmission they received from the Republic was that the Jedi had been traitors, referring to Order 66 and Palpatine’s speech in Revenge of the Sith. This means that the Empire, particularly Palpatine, was conscious of At Attin’s existence. The Unhealthy Batch, Rebels, and Andor have all established that value was a priority for the Empire, with tasks competing for funds, so if Palpatine and the Empire knew about At Attin, why did not they exploit their riches?
Skeleton Crew by no means solutions this query, and one may assume Attin’s Supervisor didn’t acknowledge the command of the Empire. The collection additionally implies that the precise At Attin ships that had been used to get previous the barrier are historic, possible not one thing Palpatine would have entry to. Palpatine isn’t any stranger to hidden planets which might be almost unattainable to get to. The truth is, At Attin has rather a lot in frequent with Exegol, the house planet of the Sith launched in The Rise of Skywalker.
Like At Attin, Exegol does not seem on any star charts and is seemingly a legend. The place At Attin is described as a planet of everlasting treasure, Exegol is described as a planet of Everlasting life within the ebook Shadows of the Sith, making it a becoming website for Palpatine’s cloning facility. Exegol can also be guarded towards the galaxy by means of an analogous maelstrom that requires a person to have a Sith wave finder with coordinates to navigate by means of it. But, the red-colored barrier into Exegol naturally happens whereas At Attin’s is man-made. Regardless that The Supervisor is destroyed, and At Attin is now free from the rule of the droid, it seems there may be extra to the story to inform, particularly why At Attin was dominated by a droid within the first place.

The ten Cutest Characters in All of ‘Star Wars’
From droids to porgs, these are the characters from ‘Star Wars’ that received audiences over for being so cute.
Jod Na Nawood’s Jedi Connection Defined
Jod’s potential to make use of the Pressure and be useful with a lightsaber counsel he was no charlatan. He clearly had some Jedi/Sith connection, however it wasn’t till the collection’ last episode that he revealed his backstory. Jod tells Whim that when he was a toddler round Whim’s age, the Jedi discovered him on his residence planet in a gap, hungry and making an attempt to outlive. He does not title the Jedi however does use she/her pronouns. He reveals that she taught him a number of tips earlier than she was hunted down and killed in entrance of him, possible throughout Order 66.
This definitely raises a number of attention-grabbing questions. An enormous one: if the Jedi discovered Jod when he was Whim’s age, he could be too outdated to be taken into the council as that they had beforehand deemed nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker too outdated. Does this imply he solely had a number of casual classes from the Jedi earlier than she died? That might clarify why he not solely did not have his lightsaber, however his power skills appeared solely to increase so far as levitating objects and never one thing like a Jedi thoughts trick.
The opposite is exactly who the Jedi educated Jod. Whereas it’s solely doable that it could possibly be a brand new authentic character, the truth that it’s left so open-ended would possibly counsel it’s a fan-favorite Star Wars character. There have been loads of Jedi from the New Republic period that might fill the void from Aylla Secura to Lumina Unduli. Jod, notably, just isn’t killed on the finish of Skeleton Crew. It’s secure to imagine the New Republic forces seize him. It seems if Skeleton Crew does return for Season 2, Jude Legislation will return as Jod, and certain, extra particulars about his backstory will probably be divulged. His early profession as a pirate definitely may make for an thrilling Disney+ collection in its personal proper. If not on display screen, Lucasfilm will possible discover extra of Jod by means of novels and comics.
The Children Made It House (However Journey Is Out There)
Skeleton Crew ends with the barrier surrounding At Attin being destroyed, permitting the New Republic X-Wings to swoop in and defeat the pirates and save At Attin. Extra importantly, the 4 younger heroes survive. Whim, Fern, and Neel rush to their college to find that KB (together with some help from a restored SM-33) was capable of land The Onyx Cinder after it was shot down roughly. The gang finds an unconscious KB earlier than she wakes up secure and sound. The 4 pals hugged as they had been again residence secure with their households, and so they had been collectively once more after having saved the day.
Everybody begins to go away to return residence as Fern tells Whim he does not want to fret in regards to the evaluation for job placement on At Attin anymore. Whim seems as much as the sky and sees X-Wings flying overhead. Like Luke Skywalker searching over the dual suns of Tattooine, Whim is listening to the decision to journey. With Whim being similar to younger children who themselves like Star Wars, even all the way down to the truth that he performs with Jedi motion figures, the ultimate shot is hammered residence when a CR90 Corellian Corvette, aka, a Insurgent Blockade Runner, aka the primary ship audiences noticed within the authentic Star Wars, flies into At Attin’s orbit. Whereas it is not Princess Leia’s particular ship, The Tantive IV, because it options blue trimmings versus crimson, it’s clear the implication is that At Attin and particularly the remainder of the characters are becoming a member of the broader Star Wars universe.
With the barrier now uncovered, At Attin formally joins The New Republic. With it having 1139 vaults price of New Republic treasure, it will likely be of excessive significance to The New Republic and will make it a goal for others within the galaxy, from extra pirates to house gangsters to even a particular Imperial remnant splinter cell.
There’s a good probability a grasping or corrupt New Republic officer who remains to be loyal to The Empire may funnel secrets and techniques and funds off the planet to fund not solely Grand Admiral Thrawn’s grand ambitions, start funding the ships and weapons for The First Order, and likewise sending funds for Palpatine’s secret cloning facility and shipyard on Exegol. At Attin would possibly now turn into probably the most necessary planets within the Star Wars galaxy, one that might put it entrance and heart in upcoming tasks set in The New Republic like The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, Ahsoka Season 2, or the deliberate crossover movie.
Will There Be a Season 2 of ‘Skeleton Crew?’
As of this second, Skeleton Crew has not been confirmed to be renewed for Season 2. Sequence co-creator Jon Watts has already spoken about his plans for a possible Season 2, which might contain a time bounce to account for the kid actors rising up. A time bounce would permit the creators to point out how a lot life on At Attin has modified since The New Republic settled on the planet and the way a lot the kids have discovered in regards to the galaxy. It additionally units up a possible second season.
Season 1 was an unintentional journey, so Season 2 may present the group presumably rising aside and discovering their place within the galaxy. Throughout this era, Luke Skywalker is constructing a brand new Jedi Temple, so does Wim attempt to be part of? Does Neel keep in contact with the individuals of At Achrann? Does KB take up an curiosity in being a pilot, and does Fern take her pure captain management abilities into politics like her mom or lengthy for the pirate’s life?
