5 Unanswered Questions After Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew stood out as an unusual choice for contemporary Star Wars productions. Instead of being littered with references and hidden gems, this series ventured into uncharted territories, offering a glimpse into the suburban side of the Star Wars universe while also exploring its wilder aspects. The show carries a Goonies-esque vibe, providing an extraordinary Star Wars adventure for dedicated fans. Skeleton Crew centered around mysteries, with each episode unveiling secrets that led to even greater enigmas.

Although Skeleton Crew effectively resolved many of its enigmas, it didn’t fully disclose all its hidden truths. There remain several significant unanswered mysteries surrounding the story of Skeleton Crew, mysteries that could serve as excellent topics for a potential Skeleton Crew Season 2.

WARNING: Spoilers below for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Season 1

Why Didn’t the Empire Imprison Jod Na Nawood?

The enigma surrounding Jod’s origin from “Skeleton Crew” was one of its most intriguing aspects. Jod first appeared using the Force to aid Wim, Neel, KB, and Fern, and as the series unfolded, viewers were given incremental hints about his true identity. The season finale ultimately unveiled the truth, revealing that Jod was discovered by a fugitive Jedi, who initiated him in the ways of the Force. Regrettably, Imperial forces tracked down both Jod and his mentor, resulting in her demise.

The issue here is, why wasn’t Jod promptly imprisoned by the Empire after he claimed they compelled him to witness his master’s demise? Given that they held him captive, it seems strange that they didn’t take him before the Inquisitors and use him to their advantage. Either Jod managed to flee, or perhaps they were unaware of the leverage they had over him. This question leaves us wondering if we’ll ever find out the truth someday.

What Happened to Tak Rennod?

In the intriguing narrative of “Skeleton Crew”, the question of who was At Attin’s Supervisor remained a significant enigma. Initially, it appeared as though pirate captain Tak Rennod might have assumed this role. Over time, Rennod had gained a formidable reputation and managed to locate not one, but two of the Jewels of the Old Republic – At Achrann and At Attin. Through the aid of the droid SM-33, we discovered that he fiercely protected the coordinates of At Attin, and it was confirmed that he had indeed reached At Attin. However, further details about his role remain unclear.

Onyx Cinder reached At Attin’s surface, yet after that, we’re unsure about Rennod’s fate. Did he attempt what Jod did and get caught by the Supervisor and droids? Or did he park the ship in the forest where the children discovered it and go into hiding? Perhaps he’s deceased, perhaps he’s retired, but regardless, there appears to be a more compelling tale waiting to be unfolded.

How Did Tak Rennod Get the Onyx Cinder?

Among the intriguing enigmas I encountered during my time with the Skeleton Crew was the mysterious Onyx Cinder spacecraft. One fateful day, while hastening to school on my trusty hoverbike, I stumbled upon this marvel, setting in motion a series of events that ultimately led us to embark on our extraordinary journey beyond At Attin. Little did we know that this seemingly ordinary ship was, in reality, a unique vessel employed by the emissaries of the Republic to surpass the Barriers of the Jewels of the Old Republic and make landfall on distant planets. The question lingered: how had Tak Rennod come to possess such an extraordinary craft?

As a movie buff, I can’t help but wonder what led Rennod to acquire the Onyx Cinder, sitting as it does among the precious Jewels. Was he lucky enough to stumble upon it or did he deliberately pursue it, driven by his quest to uncover the last surviving Jewels of the Old Republic? The story behind how Rennod got his hands on this artifact is a captivating mystery that adds depth to his already intriguing journey.

Were All the Jewels of the Old Republic Mints?

As a film enthusiast and space-lore aficionado, I’ve always been captivated by the tales swirling around the Jewels of the Old Republic, these supposedly inexhaustible vaults of galactic wealth that sparked an interstellar quest for their discovery. Over time, eight out of nine of these treasures were lost or destroyed, but it was “Skeleton Crew” that unveiled the intriguing fact that At Attin served as a Republic Mint, churning out dataries meant to circulate among the galaxy’s citizens. The Republic, with its expansive reach, was said to span a myriad of ten thousand worlds; yet I found myself questioning whether such an immense entity truly required nine mints? A planet dedicated entirely to the production of credits seems more than sufficient for the job.

One might argue that the question at hand has been addressed due to claims that the Jewels were treasure planets. However, one must consider that ‘treasure’ can encompass a multitude of things beyond mere piles of credits. Perhaps each Jewel of the Old Republic held a distinct “Great Work,” each contributing something vital to the government. Since we’ve only explored At Achrann, which was eventually destroyed, the secrets of the remaining Jewels of the Old Republic remain shrouded in mystery.

When in the Timeline Does Skeleton Crew Take Place?

In each Star Wars tale, understanding the timeline of events is crucial, as each period serves as a unique backdrop. For instance, stories set during the Imperial period differ greatly from those in the High Republic or New Republic eras. However, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew does not specify exactly when it occurs within the New Republic era.

The ongoing pirate issue portrayed in shows such as The Mandalorian, Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett, and Star Wars: Ahsoka suggests that Skeleton Crew’s narrative occurs during a similar timeframe. However, it remains unclear whether Skeleton Crew is set before, within, or after the timeline established by these shows, including The Mandalorian Season 3 and Ahsoka Season 1. While this may appear trivial to some, understanding the chronology of Star Wars stories plays a crucial role in comprehending the broader storyline.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is streaming in its entirety on Disney+.
