I really don't understad how some people are to short-sight to call this episode a "filler" one. We don't just knew valuable information about the mistery of the planets, we were witness of the moment the kids lost their innocence... Literally, we watched some mid-class kids from a rich country going to a civil war country, like Syria, Sudan or Afghanistan. We saw Fern emotionally broken, Wim taking the situation seriously for first time, Neel facing his fears. This was a deep psichologycal develop episode... and they are calling it "filler"? Come on!

[@hotfroganimations]

I wouldn’t call it filler, I’d just call it a bad episode.

[@michaelsullivan3581]

It was an excellent episode, directed and crafted carefully to open up the real web of the story being told, by the very writer's of the story! Me thinks you need to watch it again. "Watch it for mice!" (As directed to Doug and Bob McKenzie)

@@michaelsullivan3581 I’ve enjoyed the previous 3 but this just… felt pointless. But seems like it might just be me and my family who feel this way.

[@fiktivhistoriker345]

Letting his ship strand and killing all crew is a bad way of getting a treasure - unless the place itself is the treasure. My thought is, that AtAttin was something like Asimovs Foundation, founded to protect knowledge during rough times. It seems that the captain intended to protect the planet by destroying the coordinates and giving SM 33 the order to attac any treasure hunter there. Also it must have been a long time ago that the ship landed there, according to the condition the corpses were in. I don't think the captain would have lived to the time the series takes place. What's important in this episode is for sure the cannon on the roof. If AtAttin has the same it will be useful when the pirates arrive.

[@Wico90YT]

I think they got boarded and crash landed during the fighting

[@tommyboman7735]

I agree with this theory, and I also believe that Wim's father is the "Wizard" pulling all the strings. We are going to see some floating head or similar, as you say, but the real mastermind is the famous pirate "Wendle". It could also be that the "treasure" is just peace and prosperity - away from the rest of the galaxy. A place to raise kids with no war.

[@DaleESkywalker]

Maybe the Supervisor is the one who destroyed the other eight worlds and knew At Attin was the one he could experience the treasure -- freedom, security, control and the money. He also knew he could hide his truly creepy little soul...

[@Maine307]

[@charlietheunicorn5383]

SMEE is the Captain. Off'd the rest of the pirates, crash landed inside the Onyx Cinder and was damaged in the process. The memory problems could be from the crash or more interestingly the little "mouse" infesting his wiring. SMEE is confusing himself and the captain, similar to multiple personality disorder, when it comes to the "captains orders".

[@iampetewyse]

The rat like creature in the droids head is dodgy. If you watch, SM-33 is struggling to remember about the planet until the rat thing pops out, and then it repeats it's "don't remember" phrase. I dunno, it could be sentient.

[@michaelsullivan3581]

It does appear to be quite sentient, doesn't it?

[@iampetewyse]

@@michaelsullivan3581 Just seemed odd that it was "struggling" to remember until the creature popped out. HMM!

[@funnyimps]

I like the social experiment idea. It makes room for At-Achran being a war toen planet. Maybe each "At" planet is a different experiment. The supervisor may have decided to see what would happen with an all middle class planet, or an all ultra rich class planet. And at Achrsn could have been the one were several factions were established, peaceful at first, but then seeds of doubt were purposely spread around. I liked the growth of Fern and Neel in this one. The show has been well written and well paced so far.

[@jleftyart5]

If this is considered filler - I honestly wouldn’t mind multiple episodes like this. Go to all of the At planets and show the differences in each. Neel is the undercover mvp and true love goes long way in Star Wars always. Expect that storyline to continue at some point. I love seeing each characters change of heart the way we did throughout the bad batch too! It builds character and relationship with the audience. Sign us up for multiple seasons. Please.

[@michaelsullivan3581]

Agreed!

I find the people who shriek "filler" don't know what they're talking about and like to complain, plus they can't say what is filler until they've seen an entire season or an entire show. BTW, a one-off episode that isn't part of the overall plot is not necessarily bad; it just depends on the episode.

I predict that Neel learning about the secret laser cannon on the roof of the dilapidated building is going to come in useful when they get back to At Attin, since the planets are literally built on the same plans.

[@nichlaschristensson1055]

Not sure I am with you on this. It is a good theory, but I do think that when they crached they all died, except SM-33. But maybe the planets are experimental. The supervisors or the one above them, created these worlds as copies, then they gave them different circumstances to live there. Just to study the behaviour

[@AJFisherDesign]

If the planets have been “copied” I wonder if the characters might also have duplicates (clones) like a large, social experiment.

[@michaelsullivan3581]

I agree with you, Meg! One thing I am sure of, Episode 4 was in NO way "filler". Every bit of it was geared towards the story line! I am quite bemused by those that are missing the near divine 'craftiness' with which this story is being presented! We've been given loads of clues, but we still have not been given the 'what' that these clues lead to! The major trick to solving a 'case' is not usually in answering "w" questions (what, when, where, who, why...), the real key is answers to "how". If you can find out how, most of the other questions will be answered! But without enough forensic evidence, we still don't even know what we are trying to figure out! Such frustration. Brilliant! The lead clue, so far, is imbedded in the name "At Attin", but we just got hinted that in Episode 4. Indirectly, I might add. The main question that I am wrestling with right now is this: Why does SM33 act SO much like he is really the Captain, pretending not to be? Does this question answer itself?

[@davidhenning6179]

My lazy theory on At Ackran is that the people of the planet realized about their planet's supervisor, leading to an overthrow of the planet's government. Afterwords, the survivors of that conflict split into the waring factions we see in this episode.

[@leslieensminger632]

The imperial helmets could be explained - they did say they traded hides for arms with outworlders. So they apparently aren’t as isolated as At-Aton.

If the captain kill all the crew before getting to At Attin, why was there a skeleton on the ship? Either some were still alive or the skeleton was the captain. Perhaps SM-33 kill him but if so, why use a dagger? And who or what is strong enough to impale the body off the ground? I think there is even more mystery here than we have seen so far.

[@katesullivan4707]

Overall I agree with your theory, what I have been trying to separate in my mind is, well, is this Fallout? And like At Attin is New Vegas with the pirate captain, long dead, but its his persona the Supervisor took on (because it had to be some time since the Onyx Cynder crashed, maybe not super long, because in crashing in might have buried itself, and it didn't take the kids long to dig out the entrance but it was deep enough that the droids didn't notice it). I am still convinced that Wim's dad has figured out more because of his job. I also suspect that at least one episode will be bounty hunters catching up with them either bad ones sent by Brutus or one sent by K'ymm (who you think could be Din and that is how they expect to avoid the second half malaise).

[@Zakk_Zero]

As always, a very interesting and insightful video! 👍 You make some compelling points to support your theories. As crazy as my thought sounds, I am still leaning towards that mural artwork being a very loose depiction of the Heroes of the Rebellion, even though I am at a loss to explain how the residents there could be aware of them yet not of other major developments in the galaxy outside of At Attin. Until the series explains it, I'm sticking to that theory. 🙂

Meg, keep up the good work. Here is something to look into for future content for you, since you are one of the only channels that i trust to listen to because of a neutral but positive approach and presentation to Star Wars. During the latest episode, Neel talks with the child soldier and explains his way of life, being peaceful. It’s almost a Buddhist perspective of non-violence and being peaceful. Neel describes himself as weak and scared and that his clan is weak because they don’t want to fight and just want to say sorry and be peaceful. When the loud explosion erupts with Neel leading the group on the frontline, his initial reaction to the blast was to stand firm, ready and prepared for whatever it was. Watch the film, Neel’s defense activates when it is fight or flight mode, despite him saying he’s scared and just wants peace. This leads to what i want to share with you because no one has picked up on it yet. These species and peoples of At-Attin were selected and purposefully chosen to be on this planet because of their characteristics of bravery and so on and so forth. They are on the mural in fern’s house, so Neel’s species and many others were chosen to participate in this grand project, The Great Work, over hundreds and hundreds of years. Fern is a natural born leader who needs to grow into her leadership role, as well as Wim and KB. They all exude qualities that would help a planet prosper, even though At Attin is peaceful and their jobs are just to analyze money. It’s bigger than what people are looking at. Unknown regions. Treasures and devices. Whatever treasure, device or whatever goal the Great Work is to accomplish is the plot device to connect everything together. Tanalor. Devices Cal Kestis found throughout the game. Skeleton Crew is setting up the integration of new material to harmonize with existing material. Neel’s species is a brave species of peace, but courageous during wartime or when they need to be. Please keep up the Great Work, Star Wars needs to be treated with precious care and attention now more than ever. Even if it’s Disney. It’s still STAR WARS. Have a great day, keep up the Great Work, Meg. Luke searching for Jedi artifacts.

from a 100 feet above view on the show .. i think atakrin (war zone) may show what happens when XYZ occurs where as At Aton is currently a control group where the droids rule and control everyones lives ... i also think that the treasure pit may exist because the droids protocol is to put treasure there and even though the supervisor is probably not there anymore they just continue to do their job.

The "filler" was the children fighting in war plot line. It was nice that Neal got some character development, but it could just as easily cut from them getting off the ship to heading straight to the supervisors tower and nothing in the larger story would really be effected. Had that war sequence been a little deeper and less on the nose, I think the episode would have worked better.

Don't forget the cannon they showed us. It's likely that AtAttin has something like that and that it will come in use when the pirates arrive.

I do think the planets are a project. If it is a master supervisor or maybe a sith project. Maybe to create credits for their plans in the shadow.

Well Meg as usual your wrong about the captain.

Also if At Atin was intact as it is now, he would not have gotten pass the security droids, who might have been the one who killed the original captain.

[@Agitated_Hamster]

In my honest opinion, I think this episode was very juvenile and very poorly written. The problem is the show is confused about who its audience is whether it’s directed towards kids or whether it’s directed towards adults. And I think adults watching it would tend to be kind of insulted by it and older kids would feel it’s a little juvenile so really the only audience would be very young kids that would’ve enjoyed this episode. I do think the Wizard of Oz theory makes sense considering the original Star Wars episode four was rumored to be based on the Wizard of Oz. With that said, I still really love the show. Unfortunately the audience score is tanking so bad due to Star Wars fatigue, and fans frustrated with the political social ideologies Disney has plugged into the franchise. It will never get a season two so I’m hoping at the very least they finish it.
