The highly anticipated finale of Skeleton Crew is just around the corner, promising to conclude the thrilling journey of Wim, Fern, KB, and Neel within the expansive Star Wars universe. After getting lost aboard the fabled ship, *The Onyx Cinder*, the group has finally managed to return home. However, they have piqued the interest of numerous pirates searching for a legendary treasure. The culmination of this adventure in the final episode is sure to deliver an exhilarating experience for fans.
In Skeleton Crew, the secretive world of At Attin is believed to harbor a mythical “eternal treasure.”Jude Law’s character, Pirate Captain Jod Na Nawood, becomes aware during his precarious interactions with the kids that this treasure comprises one of the last Old Republic mints uncovered by the illustrious Captain Tak Rennod. The previous episode showcased Jod, adept with both the Force and lightsaber, coercing the children to assist him in accessing At Attin’s vaults, brimmed with valuable Old Republic credits. With that in mind, let’s delve into our top predictions for the exciting finale of Skeleton Crew.
8 Jod is Revealed to be an Order 66 Survivor
Exploring His Force Sensitivity & Lightsaber Mastery
Jod’s evident Force abilities suggest he might be a survivor of Order 66. His skill in wielding a lightsaber—one that Wim discovered within Tak Rennod’s lair—indicates he likely underwent some form of Jedi training, abruptly interrupted by the Jedi Purge that coincided with the rise of Palpatine’s Galactic Empire. This backstory leads me to believe Jod could have been a former Jedi Padawan turned pirate after surviving the catastrophic events of Order 66.
Furthermore, Jod’s lingering resentment towards the children indicates deeper emotional scars, particularly as he appears to regard them as privileged. This bitterness likely stems from a disillusionment with the Jedi Order, which failed to safeguard him. Understanding Jod’s past will be crucial, and I’m eager for the finale to unveil his true identity, given his varied aliases such as Jod Na Nawood and Silvo.
7 The Supervisor is Revealed to Be Captain Tak Rennod
The Takeover of the Old Republic Mint
Jod and the children confirmed a recording from Tak Rennod, a notorious pirate captain, outlining the existence of an Old Republic mint at At Attin. Legends diverge on the fate of Rennod and his crew post-discovery, though *The Onyx Cinder* remains as the sole remnant of their journey. There is speculation that Tak Rennod may still be alive and possibly the sinister figure known as the Supervisor in Skeleton Crew. Notably, the Supervisor’s voice, provided by actor Stephen Fry, has been heard without ever revealing their identity. Similarly, Rennod’s holo-recording obscured his appearance. Thus, it stands to reason we might see Rennod’s true form or role unveiled in the finale.
6 The Supervisor is a Droid
The Secret Droid Leading At Attin
Regardless of the Supervisor’s true nature, a compelling theory is that they are a droid. This unorthodox twist would clarify the shrouded presence of the Supervisor and the expressed distrust towards droids, particularly displayed by Jod. The kids’ parents also shared frustrations over non-compliant security droids. This backdrop sets the stage for a revelation: At Attin may have been under droid command, which could dramatically shift the narrative in the finale.
5 Carson Teva & The Adelphi Rangers Make an Appearance
Arriving to Confront Jod’s Pirate Crew
Throughout its run, Skeleton Crew has yet to enlist prominent cameos from the New Republic Era series. The series finale may be the perfect opportunity to introduce Captain Carson Teva and his squad, the Adelphi Rangers, known for safeguarding the Outer Rim. Previous episodes have hinted at New Republic X-Wings, hinting that the Rangers might arrive at At Attin in a timely manner to counter Jod’s band of pirates armed with The Onyx Cinder.
4 Wim Discovers He Can Use the Force
A Moment of Fulfillment
As the finale approaches, I anticipate that Wim may finally tap into the Force he has long admired. Though his journey has been fraught with danger and reality, this climactic moment could empower him to utilize the Force not merely as a fantasy, but rather to safeguard his friends. Moreover, Jod’s earlier impartation of wisdom—that “your focus determines your reality,”echoes teachings from Qui-Gon Jinn to Anakin Skywalker, further foreshadowing Wim’s potential growth.
3 Jod Chooses to Save the Kids from the Supervisor
Potential Redemption for Jod
While Jod has demonstrated a ruthless demeanor, I believe there remains a chance for his character to seek redemption. If the finale reveals the Supervisor as a significant threat, akin to Long John Silver from *Treasure Planet*, Jod could evolve into an unexpected ally, aiding the kids against droid rebellion or a parental rescue attempt.
2 Jod Escapes At Attin but Leaves His Crew Behind
Echoing Long John Silver’s Path
Regardless of any persona shifts, I anticipate that Jod Na Nawood will likely escape from At Attin by the finale’s end. Like Long John Silver, he could ride into the sunset—possibly with a fistful of credits—while abandoning his crew, thereby cementing his role as an ambiguous anti-hero. However, there is a chance he may double down on his villainous tendencies, leading to his downfall.
1 At Attin Integrates with the Galaxy & New Republic
Reconnecting to the Greater Galaxy
Through the series, it’s been indicated that At Attin has remained intentionally isolated from the galaxy, shielded by an artificial maelstrom barrier. It seems the inhabitants have remained oblivious to significant events like the Clone Wars and the rise of the New Republic. The continued functionality of the Old Republic mint raises questions about its operators’ intentions.
Hence, I posit that the finale will shed light on At Attin’s true relation to the broader galaxy. This revelation could pave the way for the planet’s citizens to align with the New Republic, fostering their integration into the modern galaxy. As the finale approaches, it’ll be exhilarating to see how these predictions come to fruition.
