‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ Explores At Attin’s Mysterious Past

Episode 3 of the Disney+ series connects the hidden planet At Attin to the Republic’s ancient history and raises questions about its purpose and origins.

• At Attin, the home planet of the young protagonists in 'Skeleton Crew,' is revealed to be the last surviving 'Jewel of the Old Republic,' a group of hidden worlds with unique significance.
• The planet’s isolation is tied to a mysterious initiative called 'The Great Work,' which echoes projects from the High Republic era, such as the Starlight Beacon and environmental restoration efforts.
• At Attin’s suburban design and mundane lifestyle contrast sharply with its deeper secrets, hinting at a potentially forgotten Republic social experiment or a safeguard for hidden treasures or knowledge.
• The series has yet to clarify whether At Attin’s origins are rooted in the High Republic, the Old Republic, or an even earlier era, leaving its timeline deliberately ambiguous.
• The production design of At Attin incorporates retrofuturistic and suburban aesthetics to reflect both its hidden nature and the children’s yearning for adventure beyond its boundaries.
