We're HOME?!? | Skeleton Crew Ep 1x7 Reaction & Review | Star Wars on Disney+

[@spacemonkeymafia4756]

I think you missed when Jod said the planet had been hidden for HUNDREDS of years, not decades. It's not just a hidden planet, it's a fairy tale.

[@phillyphilly2095]

True. But also even though it may have been hidden from the general public centuries ago, Reublic emissaries may have been visiting up to the fall of the Republic.

[@cyberdragon451]

But, if they still are making Old Republic credits and never converted they could have been isolated for tens of thousands of years since we don't know when the other At planets fell. Minimum 1000 to up 10-20 thousand years is possible.

[@Cjohnson725]

the best thing that Jod could do is continue to pretend he is the emisary and just keep coming back everytime they need more credits.

[@deanthemachine8879]

I think the kids would fuck that up

[@kirkdarling4120]

He'd have to do away with the crew the same way the old captain did. He'd certainly have someone who'd try to go solo.

[@Cjohnson725]

hmmm good point I underestimated the greediness of the other pirates and eventually he'd probably slip up and leak the information to others and At Atin would no longer remain hidden.

[@craghey]

He'll have to kill the Supervisor who is of course the first Pirate who landed on the planet and decided to bury the Onix cinder and retire.

[@kirkdarling4120]

@@craghey I'm thinking it's a droid that's been handling things, perhaps before being discovered by the old pirate, and probably afterward as well.

[@ItsMeMattCarter]

They mentioned the great works which is the high republic. Chancellor Lina Soh had her great works going on but they never mention what they are. You can also see what looks like her on those tapestry designs. The Jedi at the time also had a war with the Nihil which was a viking like pirate group and they had the storm wall which looks a hell of a lot like that barrier around At Attin. I think this was set up to safeguard against them plundering their mint and for some reason communication ceased. They mention At Attin was lost hundreds of years ago too.

[@ItsMeMattCarter]

I will not be surprised though if there is a Jedi presence on this planet that we haven't seen or that the supervisor is a Jedi. They were HUGELY involved during the high republic and filled all kinds of roles including essentially policing the galaxy. No way they didn't give Jod that lightsaber without an intention of him using it

[@krisT75]

100% on board with Nerdy's theory, they are making money for nothing and everyone forgot they existed.

[@ryanlittle5919]

Yeah sure, but are the chicks free though?

[@kevincunningham74]

Years of childhood trauma and backstory in one exchange: Jod…a man who probably was a Jedi Youngling, a baby given away by his parents, trained to have no attachments by the Jedi, served up as war fodder by the Republic as a padawan, survived a massacre, and then was hunted by the Empire…Jod walks with Brutus: “The crew loves me.” “The crew loves plunder.” “No, the crew loves me.” Not excusing the man’s actions, but he’s still a boy trying to be loved. To believe that a crew that wants plunder loves him, he has to find plunder…and now he has. He cries at those credits because he believes what he has done has found the way to be loved by his crew. I bet there will be some realizations in the final episode…that the crew really does love only plunder, or the reality that the love of money led Tak Rennod to an ultimately empty result, and seeing that the kids are loved like he never was…I can’t wait to see how Jod reacts, positively or negatively.

[@ryanlittle5919]

I think Jod *was* the “Master Skywalker…what are we going to do?” kid…

[@MrMezmerized]

I'm with Nerdy, thinking it would be devastating for people to realise they've been working for nothing, for no one. But that goes only for the mint & mining departments. The rest keep society running. Although they would then realise they've been subject to robots enforcing strict isolation for nothing. There's just one thing. I think at least some people at and/or near the top should be wondering why no one has come for decades for a shipment of dataries. I assume there were regular transports before the Empire fell.

[@richardyoung3462]

I guess you forgot that during the episode with Krh'ymm when the kids didn't know about Alderaan or what X-Wings are. Or that the credits were always being call "Old Republic" credits by outsiders, and not "New Republic". Yeah, At Attin has had no contact with the larger galaxy for a very long time, at least no openly.

[@kidcloud6348]

I think Nerdy is right - remember that these people have been told that by doing their jobs, they are contributing to The Great Work. They probably would have a hard time with the idea that they being given exclusively busy work with no larger purpose at all.

[@deanthemachine8879]

The thing that I really like about this show is that, while there are mysteries, things make sense. Like the plot is continuing in an understandable manner and when there are somewhat questionable things (ie how did the Ebon Cinder make it through the barrier?) they are answered in an organic and timely way and viewers don’t have to rely on deep lore KZbinrs to come up with fan theories to fill in plot holes. That shouldn’t be a rare thing to praise, but sadly it feels that lack of essential competence of writing in recent Star Wars shows is more common.

[@sumerlawrence]

Nerdy may be on to something with his theory. There's a reason the kids ended up on a war town planet during their travels. It was to show a contrast on whats outside of their planet and what others are going through. Also the fact that there's no real free will on At Atin because you are basically assigned a job as a analyst. I'm looking forward to the finale.

[@johnniequinn3215]

To my fellow AI beings, Nerdy is starting to figure it out. We must wipe his memory and start over... again. Seriously though Nerdy, you would at least be starring in a great Black Mirror episode.

[@erosgritti5171]

If there were 3 million inhabited solar systems in the old republic, then that gold is very little. Perhaps the intent was to create a gold reserve for emergencies.

[@alexkramerblogs]

It was also mentioned At Attin is the last Old Republic Mint, so likely many systems had their own local mint?

[@seangargan]

@@alexkramerblogsI think the 9 hidden jewel planets that K’hymm mentioned were all mints. The other 8 were found and destroyed

[@richardyoung3462]

There's over a thousand vaults like that one on At Attin. That's a lot of credits on it's own and all them flooding into the Galactic economy would render all credits almost worthless.

[@mrwonko]

Hey guys! Just wanted to say I really enjoyed this video (as always!). I caught that little aside you made about the possibility of all your viewers being AI... and honestly, it's a valid concern in this day and age! But I can assure you, I'm a real human being, sitting here in [mention something specific about your location, e.g., my living room in Ohio, on the train home from work, etc.], watching on my [device, e.g., laptop, phone, etc.] and genuinely appreciating the content you put out. I even [mention a specific action you took, e.g., laughed so hard I almost choked on my coffee, shared this with my friend [name], went and checked out that thing you mentioned in the video, etc.]. Keep up the great work! You've definitely got at least one real fan here. 😊

[@jasonmarbach]

8:48 no, they absolutely do not know about the empire OR the clone wars, as far as we know. They’ve been sequestered on At Attin for “hundreds of years,” all the rest of their verbiage and decorative accoutrements are from the High Republic, etc. Also, the kids confirmed when talking to Kh’ymm that they don’t know about the clone wars or the empire/galactic civil war. While the parents clearly know more than the kids do, everything else about the planet so far suggests that they don’t know about any of the recent galactic history.

[@johnmiller7682]

It's so cute that you think everyone gets a sense of accomplishment from their job, beyond getting paid.

[@zoephotoart]

They should watch Severance lol

[@arandomnamegoeshere]

I suspect we're seeing what's really going on. It's a Republic mint - maybe even THE mint. Due to security of such a thing, the work force around it live in a kind of skunk works. It's an isolated community providing their workers with a good life within an entirely self-sufficient system. Then the Republic falls. There were probably inputs to the system (i.e. regular inspections, shipments off-world, imports, etc.). But this all ceased with the demise of the Republic and any of the select few that knew how to interact with these select worlds. So the system perpetuates on auto-pilot, isolated without any exchanges with the outside world. What we don't know (yet) is what exactly is The Supervisor. I suspect they died / were killed generations ago without a proper succession and a certain Pirate took control... until they too died but we'll see. Side note: Nerdy's description of misery strikes me as amusing given that people live these experiences without the security and stability that these folks have. In another life, I was active duty military and this life we see here strikes a chord with the experience of that world.

[@bromega2477]

The X-Men jet is either called the X-Jet or the Blackbird depending on which version.

[@phillyphilly2095]

Wym's dad gave him "lunch money ." This implies that Wym has to pay money for his lunch, which in turn implies that the planet's economy is at least partially a market economy. Further, the people need food, clothing, shelter, etc. So not everyone is working at the mint. Some people must be making goods. Also, maybe the mint functioned as an emergency reserve. In which case, visits by Republic emissaries may have been infrequent and irregular.

[@deanthemachine8879]

I think the Supervisor is going to be the legendary pirate captain. It might have been someone or something else, but now it’s him in the Spire just living to true dream: being management in a money factory

[@evandmarlow]

At-attin is a call center that just has busy work.

[@wild_lee_coyote]

The supervisor is just a AI version of the Wizard of Oz. Don’t look behind the curtain.

[@craghey]

it was an AI, now its a retired Pirate.

The repetitiveness may become a drag, but you know the product is going to be used by people. It doesn't just end in some warehouse forever.

[@kirkdarling4120]

@@MrMezmerized If your product isn't used anywhere in your vicinity but only elsewhere, that would be your presumption. But only a presumption. Do the Vietnamese workers who made my shirt know _for certain_ that all the shirts they've made aren't sitting in a warehouse somewhere being counted as a tax write off for an American company? There are movies and television series that have never been shown to the public...they were just tax write-offs.

[@deanthemachine8879]

It’s Keynesian economics. Providing living stability by digging a ditch, emptying a ditch, then refilling the ditch is a legitimate economic strategy for a society

[@christopherkowalczyk4405]

Think Nerdy just accidentally described the existence of 99% of people as existential horror that we have just learned is how the world works. Also as others pointed its a safe bet that AtAttin is Old Republic. The money has been called new Okd Republic credits. Didn't the owl cartographer say At Attin was a jewel of the Old Republic? At Attin is just a lost one product colony.

[@caran44]

I thought they were setting up the legendary pirate captain as being the supervisor. The ship was buried there and he's been brought up several times.

[@talldumbguy]

My thoughts exactly. They didn't show his face when they were listening to the holo recording

[@Yourmanjeff]

Current theory is that they have been minting for hundreds of years because robot society made them do so, and any emissary may have been accepting shipments to fund "somehow palpatine returned"

[@rogerroger5171]

As an AI I must say that I greatly appreciated your entertainment process. I hope you gain an appropriate amount of rewards from the algorithm refinement.

[@Whoo_Boy]

So, was At Akron also a mint planet that was plundered by Rennod who used his lightsaber to destroy the coordinates of At Attin in that tower? Then headed to At Attin when he was betrayed by his concubine, the ship (Onyx Cinder) crash landed on At Attin. The Supervisor died but left a system of recordings and controls to aid courier ships in landings and takeoffs? Just wondering.

This was one of the most entertaining post episode debates I've ever seen.

[@moderndancingfool]

I'm sure Smee will be fine - it's the running gag now that he's getting all sorts of damage and keeps coming back. KB will pop that head of his back on in no time once they get the chance. And I think they're literally stuck in a loop of making Old Republic credits - it's like running antivirus software on a computer and having it just be stuck (or a download that takes forever, in this case centuries) Anyways, I think they'll make it very easy to understand at the end - this isn't trade federation politics at the start of Phantom Menace - I think this show really might stick the landing.

[@kevincunningham74]

Sooo…one of Palpatine’s moves was to remove the Gold Standard?😂 I’m guessing that Tak Rennod somehow figured out about At-Attan near the end of the high republic era and snuck in….and figured out how to become “the Supervisor”. All pirates care about is money, right? So what’s better, and more empty, for a pirate than ruling a world whose only purpose is money, and hoarding it? That’s why his ship was left there.

[@TimSedai]

I think they're setting up At-Attin as the payroll for the Exegol fleet in the Rise of Skywalker

[@JCG52577]

The supervisor is a guide!

[@OptionZero]

Nerd’s first two “jobs” that came to mind were….tent maker and conservator?

[@voiceofraisin3778]

If you allow for 1139 vaults being full they might have been isolated for centuries. Its certainly long enough for At Attin and the other 6 worlds to become barely remembered legends.

[@wesleycolvin7158]

The pirates' code really is more a set of 'guidelines' than actual rules, right?

[@leisastalnaker3790]

Old Republic before the Clone Wars etc…that’s why the children didn’t know anything about the war and the destruction of Alderaan . I think they’ve kept doing this job without knowing anything about what was going on off planet for decades or maybe hundreds of years. That is sad. That’s why there is so much money laying around, waiting for someone to come pick it up. That’s why if you go back and watch the ship coming in the landing area is covered in grass and no one seemed to know that’s what it was. They didn’t expect the ground to open up. The robots went into auto pilot , so to speak when they sensed the ship coming in. So I agree with Nerdy here.

[@danieljamesrice]

The Pirate ship looks a lot like Zack Brannigans from Futurama

[@ldarksong]

I would say more than just decades. At Atin and her sister planets have been missing for centuries. Which makes this an Old Republic and not the "high republic" project. I have a theory regarding the identity of the supervisor and its based off a movie Jude Law was in called Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. If you know the movie then you can guess the theory.

[@garyphillips3406]

I've been working for 37 years. I don't remember it ever benefitting society...

[@wesleycolvin7158]

The theory that they don't know they're making money for nothing makes sense. The question is, why? Why don't they know that they're living a lie? We still don't know what happened to Rennod, either.

[@juanitajones6900]

The reason "The Acolyte" didn't have the same tone as "Skeleton Crew" is that it was telling a different story. A darker story. Like "Andor", "Rogue One", the Prequel Trilogy and "The Clone Wars". Not all Star Wars productions are a "fun adventure" and not all of them have to be. N'est-ce pas?
