On the one hand, the finale gave us everything we wanted and hoped to see.
We got that and we loved it.
But we dont know that just yet.
Jod was one thing that came into the light in the finale of Skeleton CrewImage: Lucasfilm
Immediately though we learn Jod isnt going to go all Anakin younglings on them.
It was just a little peacocking.
The Supervisor, however, isnt a person.
If nothing else,Skeleton Crewgave us Neel. And for that we’re grateful. – Lucasfilm
Its a droidwhich apparently Ferns mom Fara was already aware of.
Its a very smart droid though.
It knows all about the kids leaving and Ferns academic talents.
If nothing else,Skeleton Crewgave us Neel. And for that we’re grateful. – Lucasfilm
Knowing hes caught, Jod destroys the Supervisor and knocks out power all over the planet.
That means its time for the showdown wed all been waiting for: Wim and Jod.
When that happens, Wim and Fern attempt to hold off Jod while KB fires up the ship.
Fara and Fern had quite the finale. – Lucasfilm
KB gets the message out and Khymm says the good guys are on the way.
But they still have the barrier to deal with.
Its time for a choice.
Hopefully we get to see what’s next for Wim. – Lucasfilm
It explains a lot.
Is he proud of the kids?
Already formulating a new plan?
Of course, Neel, Wim, and Fern get to KB and shes fine.
she asks in an absolutely perfect moment.
Yes the kids won.
They saved At Attin but also changed it forever.
No, we think Wim is destined for things beyond At Attin.
Hes on the path to becoming the hero hes always wanted to be.
From there, we pick up a few weeks later with… no, were kidding.
What happened to Jod?
Where did he go?
And how will they deal with that decision happening because of these four kids?
A bit more closure.
And maybe we will ifSkeleton Crewgets a second season, or the characters show up in another series.
And with that, the credits rolled onStar Wars: Skeleton Crew.
That hasnt happened with new characters in a long, long time.
Even onThe Acolyte, you really liked those characters, but most of them were ultimately doomed.
WithSkeleton Crew, thats not the case.
These kids could grow up to be the saviors of the galaxy.
All eight episodes ofStar Wars: Skeleton Creware now streaming on Disney+.
