Missed the Darth Vader reference in the first scene of episode 1. Captain Silvo grabs the captain by the neck choking him. That captain explains that there is no money this a bulk freighter. Silvo responds with “if this a bulk freighter why is your vault magnetically sealed?” This ties back to Darth Vader in New Hope where he’s choking the rebel captain where the rebel says that “this is a councillor ship.” Vader responds with, “if this a councillors ship where is the ambassador?” Maybe I’m wrong but the scenes seemed familiar.

[@seanj3667]

28:12 Kids growing up in the city would have a similar experience with never seeing stars. There is a story about a major blackout in LA (I think) when the city got so dark, residents could see the Milky Way and literally called 911 because they did not know what it was.

[@philipzielinski]

I taught in an urban suburb of Chicago and the kids were arguing about the color of the night sky. Some were convinced it was orange (streetlights).

[@Teamphi19132]

I like how they school desk is an Etch-a-sketch really leaning into that 80's vibe

[@excalibos]

Honestly I've been getting The Giver vibes about that colony. Like it was some sort of lost mineral planet from the Old Republic that locked itself under the Barrier to protect their financial empire. That whole, "we're going to give you a test and that will determine what job you get to do" is almost verbatim from the books.

[@excalibos]

That would also explain why the kids still think the Jedi are around. Because no one in the colony has any outside contact with the world.

[@rainbowquartz9513]

They probably don’t know about the clone wars, order 66, the rise and fall of the republic/ the empire, the rebellion, or anything.

[@Wico90YT]

@@excalibos IMO the villains of the stories being The Sith, rather than anyone else, is a good indication of this too.

Ah thank you for mentioning this! I literally flashed back to my middle school English class while watching this remembering when we read this book!

[@josenieves309]

The “1.6094” answer for the “table of 5” question actually comes from the natural logarithm of 5. Meaning ln(5)=1.6094. This is based on the mathematical constant "e" which is at the heart of finance, interest rates, and currency fluctuations.

[@kingcamelot1395]

​@@nomore2226Just because Disney Star Wars is a gravel barrel doesn't mean there aren't a few nuggets of gold in there. Rogue One, Andor, Manalorian S1&2, Asokha, Bad Batch, and now Skeleton Crew. These are all pretty good.

[@b.d.hampton]

I generally enjoy the star wars stories that follow the "other guys", like Andor. The fact that the star wars universe parallels our own in that there are pockets of crime, poverty and despair hidden behind an edifice of modern accessibility. It has always been the difference between Wars and Trek.

[@jonrolph8139]

I think the question of At Attin is definitely a little more complex than it first appears. The Old Republic credits, the references to and use of the Great Work, and how the planet is isolated from the rest of the galaxy (Neels' referring to an "alien" in Ep2 when he sees a species not encountered on At Attin). Even Wim's holopad is a subtle misdirect (easily detected if you can read the Aurabesh, but the Jedi on a jungle planet, fighting a monster that looks an awful lot like a Rancor - it is intentionally similar to Luke Skywalker's story). I believe At Attin has been isolated since at least the Old Republic era, with the legends of a pirate treasure sprouting from there.

[@neil3265]

Old republic as in the galactic republic of the prequels which was 1000 years old ,even in OT and ST it was simply called as the Old Republic by characters such as obi wan and c3po

[@Asphodellife]

They are some kind of legendary Treasure Island (not found on any map). Yes I can see that (with a hidden Jedi Temple?)

[@neil3265]

@@Asphodellife Probably,in the recent 3rd episode it was is revealed it was one of the 9 jewel planets of the republic which was kept hidden on purpose and is the only remaining jewel planet which wasnt destroyed by the republic

[@JupitersProdigy]

The Great Works were a group of projects undertaken by the Galactic Republic under Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh during the High Republic Era. The Starlight Beacon, a massive space station constructed on the frontier of the galaxy, was one of Soh's Great Works. Other Great Works that Soh had planned included the Republic Fair, construction of communications relays throughout the galaxy, the negotiation of a treaty between the Quarren and Mon Calamari, cracking the code on bacta cultivation, and other technological innovations.

[@kevinpatrickfoley]

This is an important point. The money and this point to then being sealed off around the high Republic. The fact that the story pad also mentions Lina feels like Lina Soh, though she's not a Jedi. But who knows how these stories get changed over time.

[@iousdeeva]

So At Attin could actually be a giant space station that can move, which is why people think it's a myth...

[@EdeP79]

Hiring Jon Watts for this was a pro gamer move

[@nomore2226]

No. Not at all.

[@crimsonghoul8983]

It was an obvious choice, to be honest.

[@PrettyOKG]

[@Adam-hi9dh]

Neel's lil brother was kept in Zorg's desk from fifth element

[@j4m3sii]

yeah idc about that main character AT ALL

[@LivewithIrish]

I think At-Attin is not a planet but an Ark that was meant to protect the ways of the old republic during galactic wars, when they leave the "planet" the camera never turns to confirm that their "simulated society" is or isn't on a planet in the first place :)

[@LEGO_GrandAdmiral]

This needs more likes

[@DanteYewToob]

Huh.. it would also make sense why no one has ever found it.. if it’s much smaller than a normal planet and it’s hidden within a nebula.

[@kyledesmet897]

[@brycelloyd3592]

I think it's more likely SM33's working with really old data when he mentions Aldani.

[@sandraarce810]

I think Jude Law might be playing a John Long Silver character, similar to Treasure Island.

[@MichaelAgould08]

If that’s the case I will file a criminal malpractice lawsuit if Tim Curry doesnt have a cameo

[@Rogue_Nine]

Lina Soh was the Supreme Chancellor during the High Republic era and was known for creating "Great Works" which they reference in the classroom scene. So they may be romanticizing Lina's job as Chancellor during the High Republic.

[@jeremynew6449]

Seems like they are going to discover some "skeletons' in the old Republics closet.

[@kingcamelot1395]

What's likely is that this planet was isolated some time during the Old Republic Era, and for all anyone knows on that planet, the Galactic Republic never fell or was reformed. They're using Old Republic credits, that's like doing your laundry with Victorian era coins.

[@skyloren2187]

I loved the first two episodes. They where really fun and I can’t wait to see more of it. I hope we see Hondo in this series, like how can you make a pirate series without THE pirate Hondo

[@deggyG]

That’s exactly what I thought. I could definitely hear Law’s voice under Silvo’s mask. I imagine next episode we’ll figure that out since he was at the end of the second episode. But it is Star Wars so if Silvo ends up being someone else I’ll be greatly surprised

[@leekp8110]

Jod didn’t use the force cause he didn’t have steps 2 and 3 of an escape plan! Wouldn’t have enough muscle to get through everyone, no credits to bribe the ferrymen and no guaranteed ship!

[@SadAce21]

This show is a Captain EO prequel and I’m here for it. Not just fuzzball the winged creature showing up. In this and in Captain EO the friend of the main character is a small blue elephant. Robot has peg leg and small companion.

When Neel is searching for Wim in the creepy ship, the pitch and cadence of when he calls out "WIM! WIM! WIM!" sounds like the Imperial siren/red alert noise.

[@joeyollar2781]

Also when wym and neel are playing with invisible lightsabers, it reminds me of Steve and Dustin in stranger things season 3

[@5353Jumper]

Another American Graffiti reference: Bonjj Phalfa is a reference to Harrison Ford’s character, racing-obsessed bully Bob Falfa.

[@toddhartman135]

[@kdtheii]

This is why I come to NR for out of the blue Plato's Allegory of the Cave references. *Muah* chef's kiss.

[@whiskey3x]

The whole story so far is giving strong Treasure Island vibes. The characters seem to be facets of the characters from that book, like Wim and the other kids are a reference to Jim Hawkins (Wim, Jim) and Jod/Silvo seems like a reference to John Silver. Sm-33 is an obvious reference to Mr. Smee but could also be the Ben Gunn character since he is the sole survivor of the crew who found At-Attin or Treasure Island.

[@Alpha23TV]

Best reviews. Right here… time taken… all relevant Easter eggs pointed out!

When they first enter that ship with Teek, that's a homage to the 'Tunnel Scene' in ET.

[@joeperniconi4087]

I think the addition of the Ithorian in the mural is fascinating. I think Neel's species is the native species of At Attan, but the Ithorian were brought in to rehabilitate the planet as their species is known to do so as they revere nature.

[@MKurnZ]

23:06 this looks like a zeffo temple from Jedi Fallen Order. Those temples would allow Cal to go down into the temple so maybe that’s another possible temple. They also have those pronged looks to them more so than other temples.

[@WramblinWreck2187]

Surprised you didn’t mention the desks totally having an Etch a Sketch vibe.

[@orrinsmith6265]

I think the tablets are references to Etch-A-Sketch, another 80s reference

[@mikeuk666]

The school ones definitely

[@Grandmasterbass]

My guess: At-Attin is not a planet. It’s an asteroid or remains of a destroyed planet. That’s why the ship got to space so fast. The sky is a shield video screen holding in atmosphere and keeping both sides of it from seeing the other.

[@tonyhooten3526]

No one has noted is that the ship is up-side down when the kids first enter (which gives it a very weird feel to everything) and that it slowly flips itself over during the take off scene.

[@mmeikol]

My theory: At-Attin is a mineral rich planet, specifically the mineral that’s used to create and distribute Republic Credits back in the day. It’s sealed off for outsiders to protect the currency, and it’s forbidden to get out so habitants do not know how valuable their planet is. I also think that either nobody on the planet actually knows what’s going on since this information has been lost in time or that Wim’s mother figured it out (so we knows where he got his sense of adventure from) and paid the price for it.

[@PassiveAgressive319]

Which means the crashed ship that landed on AA we’re looking for the currency.

[@MadaraUchihaKid]

[@willschoonover8654]

At-Attin reminds me a bit of Krikkit from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

[@najtrows]

At-Attin made me think of Atlantis (in ep2 when they seemed to come from a mythical world of treasure.)

[@JoshCBauer]

Another fun fact: comedian Alan Resnick has a brief cameo in Ep 2 as a character named "Tuut Orial," named after his alantutorial KZbin series

[@Willzinator]

The two passenger kids who pull up on the speeder look like the kids who make fun of Ani in Phantom Menace when he's building his podracer.

[@lucrecean]

[@bromodragone8405]

Neel is just a bean.

[@scharftalicous]

My thought is that the planet is a place where some kind of higher service or weapons manufacturing takes place and as such is protected. Like perhaps it is the underwriter of the banks or they hold the design for and make the disintegrator weapons

[@RyanHaney55]

When Neel said "Like what?" I said that was adorable. I wonder how "At-At" people say A.T-S.T. Maybe they just say chicken walker. I had to take a photo of the Frisbee on the roof. 😂

[@FoxstarHaven]

The Great Work is a common term used by alchemists, referring to both the legendary pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone and transmuting lead to gold, but also the metaphorical efforts of doing good in the world and improving society. The gold could relate to the legends of treasure there.

[@jordanbrandon81]

Isn't the philosophers stone in some situations used as a means to extend or prolong life? 'The Great Work' and fascist undertones makes me suspect maybe something to do with Palpatines resurrection. Though the gold and wealth example feels solid as well. It's an interesting mystery

[@RicDrgn]

The fact that nobody has commented on the CGI is a testament to how good it has become. Most of the scenes where filmed inside the "Volume" with practical foregrounds that blended into the LED screens surrounding the stage. It's come a long way from the early Mando episodes where it's very appearent.

[@jeffreycarman2185]

31:39 when these characters were rummaging through the pirates stuff I was really hoping to they could pull up the navigation tool from Andor (the one used by Nemik during the Aldhani heist).

12:49 Assuming At Attin has remained the same since the Old Republic days, it's funny the RX unit designs don't evolve as much compared to the majority of the droids. 🤔 Also, 21:19 The swirly clouds seem like a nod to the Monkey Island series as some of the games do contain these type of clouds as well.
