Skeleton Crew's 5 Biggest Unanswered Questions

“Skeleton Crew” has come to an end after delivering eight episodes of the wonderful Star Wars show, which feels like one of the most refreshing things the franchise has done in a while. Of course it is how far from “Andorra”, but that's what makes this series special. It's an all-ages adventure show that takes cues from everything from “Treasure Island” to “The Goonies,” showing a galaxy far, far away with a wide-eyed sense of wonder like we haven't had in years. still providing some pretty gruesome visuals that the franchise lacks.

Like a proper adventure, “Skeleton Crew” doesn't really end when the credits roll. Of course, there is the last episode and pretty poor ratings for the season means we likely won't get anotherbut much like the first Star Wars movie, the finale wraps up the adventure nicely, leaving a few things open. This means that the kids complete their mission, go 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” goes like “The Mandalorian” and gets many more seasons, or if it becomes another cut of “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.

To save Atin from an attack by the Jodh pirates, the kids are forced to blow up the barrier that surrounds the planet and has kept it safe for decades (if not longer). It's a pretty big event for the planet, and one with huge consequences that the Skeleton Crew doesn't even begin to acknowledge in the finale.

Now the simple answer is that the barrier is dead and gone, so there is no going back to Atin, a hidden planet found only in legends and spaceships. Instead, it must be part of the galactic community, but to what extent? The planet appears to have cut ties with the Republic since Palpatine gave the “All Jedi are traitors” speech.. When the people of Athens realize that the republic they served is gone, replaced by a new and less effective Republic, would they try to leave it or stay as the new bank of the New Republic?

Most importantly, with the New Republic spread and unable to prevent piracy and crime, the discovery of the old Republic's mint on Attin makes the planet a prime target for attacks from all galactic organizations, including Thrawn's Imperial Remnant. Perhaps he gains control of the planet and thus manages to finance what eventually becomes the First Order.

Attin is not only barrier-free, but guard-free. The moment Jod could, he stabbed the warden with his lightsaber and killed the old giant droid. It turns out that Supervisor wasn't just a made-up name, because once the droid shuts down, all of At Attin's droids shut down, along with the power grid.

Although Vim's father managed to turn the power back on, the question remains as to who will take control of the planet now that the warden is dead. Can it be fixed? Are there even spare parts available for a possibly very old droid? At least we know who is not in charge of the planet – Tak Rennod. Despite what fan theories could argue aboutIt seems that Rennod was not actually a masked warden. This means that SM-33's story of Rennod being stabbed by his concubine was true, and it is likely that this pirate legend befell him.

Jude Law's Jod Na Navud, also known as Crimson Jack, Dash Zentin, Umiam Gorelox, Jodwick Zank or Captain Silvo, is one of the best new Star Wars characters in years. He is a complex character who can be nice to a group of kids in an instant, and threatening with Anakin Skywalker the very next momentand thanks to Jude Law's charismatic performance, he manages to make you forget the fact that he's a bloodthirsty pirate with one speech and the recitation of a sea shanty.

In the finale of “Skeleton Crew,” we leave Jod at the top of the watchtower, looking out the window and seeing his pirate crew being destroyed by New Republic starfighters. We don't know if he was imprisoned by the New Republic if he was killed, or if he'll try to hide in Attin and clash with one of the children.

Of course, this is unlikely to be the last we see of Jodh Na Navud. Whether it's the new season, The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, or another part of the MandoVerse, there's no way Jude Law is coming back to Star Wars because he's one of the few Jedi characters we have. also just a phenomenal character. Imagine if he comes back, but at some point loses his arm and becomes a proper pirate!

In addition to the destruction of the Atin barrier, which has huge implications for the future of the planet's security, there is also the question of the mint and its future now that more people know about Atin and its location. Part of what made this show special is that it raised some fascinating questions about larger science and world-building while focusing squarely on the children's adventures. We have no idea if Attin had sent out credits in the time since they lost contact with the Republic, but it's clear that if the mountain of old Republic credits on Attin left the planet, it would cause an inflationary crisis that would destabilize the entire galactic economy.

Look what happened when Wim started showing off some shiny credits. Now imagine what would happen if thousands of vaults filled with treasure were put into circulation – the banking clan would go nuts. So, there are two options: either the planet shuts down and no one ever knows about the money, or they start slowly rolling out credits to the galaxy. If only there was a planet full of economic experts who studied currency exchange since high school…

Finally, this isn't a question that needs to be answered, but regardless, we never really learn anything about Jodh's Jedi Master. He does say that he was trained by the Jedi as a child sometime after The Purge and that he was forced to watch his master killed before his eyes. However, this leaves some questions in the air as to how much training he has had and if he had ever held a lightsaber before the events of “Skeleton Crew”. After all Jodh seems pretty skilled at The Forceso it's not like he learned basic training in one afternoon.

Again, this mystery doesn't really matter, and we really don't need to learn that Jodh was raised by, say, Quinlan Voss, but it's interesting how much Jodh had to learn before losing his master. He obviously knows what the Jedi are and knows some of the Jedi philosophy, but does he know the Jedi code? If Jod met Luke Skywalker, would he condemn Luke's attempts to bring back the Order? What would he think of Ezra, another orphan raised by a Jedi but turned into the opposite of a treacherous pirate?

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