Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Episode 7 Unveils Major Secrets
In the latest installment of “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,” episode 7 titled “We’re Gonna Be in So Much Trouble,” viewers are treated to revelations that address two of the series’ most compelling mysteries. The episode dives into the enigmatic Onyx Cinder spaceship and the elusive planet At Attin, shedding light on their true nature.
As Wim, Fern, KB, and Neel embark on their space voyage after uncovering the Onyx Cinder, they stumble upon At Attin, a place that, as it turns out, is widely dismissed by the galaxy as mere folklore. Even the seemingly quaint planet harbors an air of intrigue, reminiscent of the tension felt in shows like “Severance,” featuring inhabitants absorbed in a covert operation dubbed the Great Work, all under strict security measures. Prior to this episode, all that was known about At Attin was its connection to an Old Republic mint.
The episode clarifies that the lack of information surrounding At Attin stems from its residents being either unfamiliar outsiders or young natives kept in the dark about the planet’s secrets. A pivotal moment occurs when Jod Na Nawood, played by Jude Law, lands the Onyx Cinder, and the kids encounter their parents. The adults nonchalantly explain that knowledge about At Attin’s unique attributes is something that only fully informed adults receive after completing their education, with all adults knowing that it serves as a mint and potentially a gold reserve. The secrecy surrounding its location serves as a barrier against intruders like Jod.
But the Onyx Cinder doesn’t just hold a singular mystery. This episode clarifies that the ship, considered by several rogues as something legendary, has a storied past. Previously owned by the famed pirate Tak Rennod, it possesses features that allow it to withstand the defenses of At Attin and even the ability to shed its armor when times get tough. Episode 7 confirms that the Onyx Cinder’s notoriety mirrors At Attin’s obscurity. The ship originated from At Attin and was modified for its piratical adventures, explaining its resilience and its role in the earlier events of the series.
In “We’re Gonna Be in So Much Trouble,” the series provides straightforward answers to these long-standing enigmas, which some may find a tad anticlimactic. However, there’s still a potential treasure trove of mysteries left to unfold, including the true identity of Jod and the enigmatic Supervisor of At Attin, voiced by Stephen Fry, alongside the lore surrounding the legendary Tak Rennod. It remains to be seen whether the final episode of the season on January 14, 2025, will unveil even more captivating twists or if “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” is reserving its most jaw-dropping surprises for last.
