Top 5 Unanswered Questions for Skeleton Crew

“Skeleton Crew” has come to an end, after eight episodes of a fantastic “Star Wars” show that feels like one of the most refreshing things the series has done in a while. Sure, this is it Far from Andor, you see, But that’s exactly what makes this series special. It’s an all-ages adventure show that takes cues from everything from “Treasure Island” to “The Goonies,” showing us the galaxy far, far away with a sense of expansive wonder not seen in years, while still… Providing some terrifying images missing from the franchise.

Like a proper adventure, “Skeleton Crew” doesn’t really end when the credits roll. Sure, there’s one final episode, and… The somewhat poor ratings for this season mean we probably won’t get much morebut like the first “Star Wars” movie, the ending does a good job of wrapping up the adventure while leaving some things open. This means that the kids finish their mission, return home (and then defend it from pirates), and reunite with their parents, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions in the world of the show.

While we wait to find out if “Skeleton Crew” will go the way of “The Mandalorian” and get several more seasons, or if it becomes another take on “The Acolyte” in its prime, let’s explore what the show’s biggest unanswered questions are and What the future of the show might be.

In order to save Atin from an attack by the God Pirates, the children are forced to blow up the barrier surrounding the planet that has kept it safe for decades (if not longer). This is a pretty big development for the planet and has huge ramifications that the Skeleton Crew doesn’t even begin to acknowledge in the end.

Now, the simplest answer is that the barrier is dead and gone, so there’s no going back Aten is a hidden planet that only exists in legends and space huts. Instead, you should be part of the galactic community, but to what degree? It seemed that the planet was out of communication with the Republic Ever since Palpatine gave his “All Jedi are traitors” speech.. Once the people of Atin realize that the republic they served is over, replaced by a new, less efficient republic, will they try to leave it or remain as a new bank for the new republic?

Most importantly, with the New Republic weakly spread and unable to keep piracy and crime at bay, the discovery of the ancient mint on Attin makes the planet a prime target for attacks by every organization in the galaxy – including Thrawn’s Imperial remnants. Maybe he would be able to control the planet and that’s how he was able to finance what eventually became the First Order.

Not only is Attin without a barrier, but it is also without a supervisor. The moment Jude was able to do so, he hacked through the supervisor with his lightsaber and directly killed the giant ancient robot. It turns out that Supervisor wasn’t just a fancy title, because once the robot is turned off, all of the robots in Attin are turned off as well, as is the power grid.

Although Wim’s father was able to turn the power back on, there is still the question of who takes control of the planet now that the Overseer is dead. Can it be repaired? Are there even replacement parts available for what is likely a very old robot? At least we know who’s not in charge of this planet – Tuck Raynaud. Despite what fan theories may advocateIt appears that Reynaud was not actually the superintendent in disguise. This means that SM-33’s story about Renaud being stabbed by his concubine was true, and this is most likely how the pirate legend met his fate.

Jude Law Na Nawood, also known as Crimson Jack, Dash Zentin, Umiam Gorelox, Jodwick Zank, or Captain Silvo, is one of the best new “Star Wars” characters in many years. He’s a complex character, he can be nice to a group of kids in one moment, and Threatening to fill Anakin Skywalker completely in the next momentAnd thanks to Jude Law’s charismatic performance, he manages to make you forget the fact that he’s a bloodthirsty pirate with a single speech and recitation of sea shanties.

In the “Skeleton Crew” epilogue, we leave Judd at the top of the Overseer’s Tower, staring out the window and seeing his pirate crew being wiped out by New Republic star fighters. We don’t know if he would have been imprisoned by the New Republic if he was killed, or if he would have tried to hide in Aten and bumped into one of the kids.

Of course, it’s highly unlikely that this will be the last we see of Judd Na Nawood. Whether it’s in a new season, in “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” or in another part of the MandoVerse, there’s no way Jude Law won’t return to “Star Wars” because he’s one of the few Jedi characters we have, and also just a tremendous character. Imagine if he came back but lost his hand at some point and became a real pirate!

In addition to the destruction of the Aten Barrier which had dire consequences for the future safety of the planet, there is also the question of the coinage and its future now that more people know about Aten and its location. Part of what made the show special was how it raised some fascinating questions about the larger lore and world-building while focusing squarely on the kids’ adventure. We have no idea if Atene sent the credits in that time since they lost contact with the Republic, but it is clear that if Atene’s mountain of Old Republic credits left the planet, it would create an inflationary crisis that would destabilize the entire galactic economy.

Just look at what happened when Wim started showing a bunch of shiny credits. Now imagine what would happen if thousands of vaults full of treasure were put into circulation – the banking clan would go crazy. So, there are two options, either the planet shuts down and no one knows about the money, or they slowly start offering credits to the galaxy. If only there was a planet full of economists who have learned currency exchange since middle school…

Finally, this is not a question that needs to be answered, but still, we never learn anything about the Jedi Master. He says that he was trained as a child by a Jedi sometime after the Purge and that he was forced to watch his master being killed in front of him. However, this leaves some questions up in the air about how much training he had, and whether he had ever picked up a lightsaber before the events of “Skeleton Crew.” After all, Jude seems to be fairly skilled in The Forceso it’s not like he got basic training for the afternoon.

Again, this mystery doesn’t really matter, and we don’t really have to know that Jude was raised by, say, Quinlan Vos, but what’s interesting is how much Jude learned before losing his master. He obviously knows what a Jedi is, and knows Jedi philosophy to some extent, but does he know the Jedi Code? If God met Luke Skywalker, would he condemn Luke’s attempts to restore order? What does he think of Ezra, another orphan raised by the Jedi, but who ends up turning into a traitorous pirate?

Hopefully we’ll get a second season of “Skeleton Crew” and all these questions will be answered.
