The great work is a reference from the high republic, so there’s a decent chance they’ve been isolated for 200ish years

My biggest complaint would be episode runtime but that's really a given with Disney+. 21:03 Jude Law is 100% Captain Silvo. I thought so when he appeared in the first episode.

Old Republic credits common enough to be used as lunch money, Wim just casually having a book filled with stories about Jedi at a time after the Empire destroyed most of it (Luke only found a handful of Jedi texts by the sequels), a barrier where no one is supposed to go in or out, plus the creators calling At Attin the "Crown Jewel of the Old Republic"...this planet is definitely the Star Wars equivalent to Atlantis/Treasure Planet. (probably hidden during the Jedi/Sith war)

[@Billy01113]

I love the reversal of the classic trope, coming back to the lost place. Whim payed in "Old Republic credits", that gives a sense of how long the place has been lost. For At Atin beeing a galactic legend, everyone has heard of and no one know where it is, it has to be at least a century, probably much more. The whole planet has vibes of social/enviromental experiment.

[@jonmercano1138]

Holiday Special things keep getting canonized 😂 Boba’s electric rifle is now Din Djarin’s, Chewie’s family, Life Day including the red robes and glowing balls, Bea Arthur’s character is the night time bartender of the cantina, I think the whip whip stir character with like a mention of a cookbook or something. There’s probably some more I haven’t caught or don’t remember.

I didn’t grow up in love with hook and goonies, being made for those older than I, but this show definitely embodies the kind of adventure those movies must’ve invoked. Good Star Wars screen writing too.

[@cameronmonaghan6883]

My theory is that the ship crashed centuries ago. Either accidentally or looking for the planet. The flight crew died on impact, but the passengers (or prisoners, more likely) survived and unable to call for help settled. The citizens are the descendents. And haven't been in contact with the Republic for a very long time.

[@brettbaumler754]

My guess: Jude Law is the former pirate captain: he’s force sensitive but not a Jedi, he just overheard Fern mention the Jedi temple bit and is pretending to be a Jedi to get the kids on his side

[@smittyjjensin558]

He needs to find At Attin to get his crew back. This is almost like Treasure Island.

[@c.lvr2602]

I think he may not even be Force sensitive and the key thing was a trick. Like how Haja Estree used magnets to close the shutters in the Obi-Wan show, he may have done the same here with the key being metal. I think he was planted there to trick the kids to lead them to At Attin

[@AmazingChi]

Surely that's more than just 'a guess'? That Port is literally ruled by the guy who deposed Captain Silvo (who sounded an awful lot like a modulated Law to me).

[@brettbaumler754]

[@jasonmarbach]

I love this show already. I have a long, very insane theory about what At-Attin’s whole deal might be. It’s probably wrong but, spoiler warning just in case. I’ll copy and paste it (sorry to that one guy who gets annoyed) as a response to this comment, if anyone is interested to see the theory.

[@jasonmarbach]

Worth mentioning this is just for fun. Theorycrafting is fun! I have no expectations of this being legit, it’s just fun to theorize. Okay here we go.

[@jasonmarbach]

We have these known facts: a) The planet of At-Attin has been a fabled, lost “planet of treasure” long enough to be a myth to the larger galaxy b) The ship was buried long enough to have a LOT of sediment and plant life atop it, including some VERY old, VERY large trees that were uprooted when it took off c) SM-33 (who is himself apparently a forerunner design of the K series droids the empire used, like K2SO from rogue one) had information pegging Aldhani as a “sulfurous bog planet,” which doesn’t track with the modern version of the planet we saw in Andor. What we DID see in Andor (outside of the mountainous highlands where the crew mostly hang out) is a valley with a river where the empire has built a dam. Possibly stemming what was there previously: a more marshy, “bog-like” environment…? We can surmise that the ship (housing SM-33, I believe Lego leaks named the ship the Onyx Cinder) was there longer than the ~30 years it’s been since the empire would’ve built that dam, so it’s probably not up to date information that SM-33 has, right? d) Mint condition old republic credits are At-Attin’s default currency and treated as such a matter of course that Wem’s dad gives him a bunch of those credits as *lunch money* So, conclusion: At-Attin is probably at least from the High Republic, if not older. And since forming this theory I’ve been told the creators gave an interview in which they referred to At-Attin as “the Jewel of the Old Republic” or something like that, so I feel like my theory is more or less confirmed to this point. So…why was it hidden? Here’s where the theory gets a bit insane. First, if you didn’t play KOTOR religiously back in the day, you might not know who Bendak Starkiller was. He was a mandalorian bounty hunter and pit fighter who was revered as a living legend in his day. You end up fighting him in a cage match in the original KOTOR game as part of a pit fighting side quest of sorts. The kind of legendary character who inspires legends long after they die. Why does that matter? Well, if At-Attin was a closed society hidden during the time of the Old Republic, it might make sense for something they were working on to have been named after an old republic legend. Right? So, maybe the planet was tasked with “the Great Work,” as it’s referred to in the show (😬), and that’s some kind of weapon? Perhaps that project was taken off the books and hidden, and the planet has been a bit of a Petri dish Stanford experiment since then, right? Their tech is mostly kind of stuck wherever it was when the old republic took them off the books and put the barrier up. So the “great work” could be a weapon system powerful and dangerous enough to keep secret, right? But, with the tech available to them, it could take centuries to complete. The weapon system, named after a legendary old republic killer? Why, that could go on to be Starkiller Base, from The Force Awakens. Hear me out! Lmao So, the weapons system has taken them generations to near completion on. But the rumors of the plan for it remained even after the planet was hidden. Like a legend rumbling around the back chambers of the senate. Of course Palpatine would’ve heard about it. Others, too. So the lingering whispers of the Starkiller Base project would’ve inspired the creation of the Death Star itself, just for Starkiller Base (the functional parts of it from At-Attin, re-located to Illum) to actually supplant it decades later, *after the events of this show reveal At-Attin to the larger galaxy and the imperial remnants who are presently trying to resurrect both the emperor and the empire.* 🤯

As far as the two dead bodies (skeleton crew) that they found, were dressed like two of the pirates that were halling him off. And I bet that they never knew what their Captain looked like without the helmet? And the Wolf Guy went from being a 'New' Captain, to now being in charge of an entire Pirate's Port. I would bet that at least 3o of 40 years has gone buy since the end of Return of the Jedi. And I would bet that Jude Laws Character was the former 'Captain of the Pirate Ship', and that he got away, and then dumped the helmet. Aftrer that, I would bet that he was caught for trying to steal something from the "Space Port", and was caught and shoved into a cell. I am also thinking that he was using his Force Skills, to do whatever he could do to stay alive. But my guess would be that he is not a Jedi, but a child that was being sent to the Jedi School, when Order 66 took place. After that, he has been on his own. What do you think?
