I had a friend that played poker for a living, and he explained it that money became just a tool
he couldn't get hung up on it
woven token
We tend to only fixate on money when we don't have enough of it
velvet rivet
Jod called the children sheltered and spoiled.
And maybe they were, by default.
But ||KB’s unconscious body after she crashed in the finale was more important to them than a pile of a million credits||
So if their childhood with three square meals a day and a solid support network allowed them to put human connection above money, then they’re doing alright.

Almost missed what you’d said here, I swore they’d mentioned mines in the show but they also talk about going to the mines as a punishment in Silo, so couldn’t remember for sure lol

Jod is the Galaxy's worst pirate and it ain't even close.
He could have left with all the credits and come back at regular intervals
Instead, he chose violence.
teal copper
He’s not heartless enough to be like Rennod
But yeah he could have just kept it his secret
stiff sun
He could have brought the credits up to the frigate and bought infinite loyalty from the crew.
velvet rivet
But he wanted an endless supply of credits, forever.
For that he needed to control the planet.
teal copper
I do wonder if the supervisor would have let Jod just take back off with a bunch of credits without making Jod come see him
If he’d never been called out he could have just kept coming back, loading up, and leaving again without saying a word to anyone
stiff sun
Yep
velvet rivet
I do wonder if the supervisor would have let Jod just take back off with a bunch...
Entirely possible.
The Supervisor might have been willing to give Jod the benefit of the doubt due to the long absence of emissaries, but that was before Jod turned on his lightsaber in front of the safety droids.
And then introduced himself as a Jedi in front of the Supervisor.

It is interesting that they got the Order 66 transmission but Palps never bothered them.
velvet rivet
It is interesting that they got the Order 66 transmission but Palps never bother...
The only logical explanation I have for this is that Palpatine didn’t know At Attin still existed.
His overconfidence made him assume it was just a fairytale.
(even if there was a secret tiny branch of the Republic government that was still using emissaries to pick up money all the way until 19 BBY).
So when Palpatine sent out his Order 66 message, he was just flooding it on all Republican frequencies.
And didn’t realize the Supervisor was tuned in to one of those frequencies.
teal copper
Might have just been on his todo list. 1.Kill Jedi, 2.Build Death Star, 3.Convert Luke, 4.Find At Attin
He didn’t get past item 3
I mean who hasn’t gotten wrapped up in a big project and then thrown down into a reactor core before they can finish their list?
Didn’t help that he had to go back to item 2 and build a second one 🤦♂️
Being serious though, I imagine he might not have cared even if he knew it existed. He had control of pretty much everything, if he couldn’t buy it he could just take it
velvet rivet
Palpatine does like to control everything, though.
Unless Palpatine felt like keeping At Attin trapped in a bubble was the equivalent of Palpatine knowing that if Yoda or Obi Wan were still alive they were forced to hide as ragged hermits and that was sufficient punishment/control, I don’t see Palpatine leaving the At Attin alone.
Also there’s the money angle.
Palps may have had avenues to pretty much all the other money in the galaxy, but since when has being unspeakably rich stopped a fascist from wanting to become even more unspeakably rich?

Well then maybe ||competed for plunder against him||
That sounds more accurate lol.
Maybe that’s why ||Captain Blackbolt|| went to go be in Young Jedi Adventures.
A computer animated show aimed at young children was the only place where he didn’t run the risk of being brutally murdered by bloodthirsty rivals.

It’s now my headcanon that ||SM-33 used to be on Blackbolt’s crew||

You are absolutely allowed your headcanon.
||SM-33 did kind of indicate that he was built on Lanupa by Captain Rennod, but the details are vague.||
||It’s certainly possible Blackbolt had him on his crew at some point or another, due to any number of shenanigans.||
teal copper
I was thinking ||more that Blackbolt would have had a crew entirely of pirate droids||
But you are right I think I remember him saying ||he was built by Rennod on the planet where his lair was||
Ok head-retcon, ||Rennod built SM after being bested by Blackbolt a few times cause as a droid he could go places/do things a meatbag crewman can’t, so Rennod built his own droid crewmate||

go far enough back and it was the opposite. in college I was on a T1 line when everyone was dial-up or at most cable. it was glorious.

I started looking at Jod's story as one similar to Kanan's. Like a "What If" episode existed in Star Wars. Kanan had a decent enough start as a Padawan but it's largely unknown what happens to him after. Who does he meet, who does he get involved with to keep him on his path? We kinda see what happens when Jod meets the "wrong" people. Both had some training (albeit Kanan had a lot more I'm assuming), both had their Jedi master killed in front of them, both grew up,
What if?
velvet rivet
Kanan did have the benefit of being raised from very early childhood within the Jedi Order.
His life wasn’t really a mess until Order 66.
Jod however appears to have spent his pre-Order 66 life being raised by a hole in the ground.
And by starvation.
But yes it would be interesting to know what could have become of Jod if his master had lived long enough to get him on a path of “trying to do the right thing”.
severe kindle
So, here's a funny story of something that happened as I was walking towards the exit door of the theater where the cast panel was.
On my left was an older woman who had that white owl from Harry Potter on her shoulder. (I don't know the owl's name.) On my right was a teen girl with an impressive Bo-Katan cosplay. The owl was a fancy animatronic that responded to the woman's voice. She was demonstrating to me and the girl as we were walking toward the exit when the owl suddenly lept off her shoulder! The girl was able to catch the owl, so no harm came to the animatronic. I exclaimed "Bo-Katan can use the force!" 🤣
The whole thing was mysterious because according to the woman, the owl is not supposed to have the ability to jump.

It is a cool set - it doesn’t have the ||hull separation feature|| or more regrettably SM-33. But overall it is great

I wondered if SM was part of it

So is this show worth watching?

It's charming. Goonies in space, a great new droid, and Jude Law's character is so interesting.

Looking for a new SW show to watch
Skeleton Crew is a Goonies/Amblin type adventure story set around the same time as The Mandalorian and the Ahsoka show (so 9-12 ABY).
It does not intertwine in a significant way with the plots of any other Star Wars shows (there is one named pirate character who was in Mando Season 3, but he’s a minion-level pirate in both stories, not a main character).
steady zealot
It's not a long show, easily bingeable, give it a shot.
velvet rivet
It contains the following:
~Pirates
~Children who behave like children (but not in an excessively annoying way, just a normal way).
~Suburbia (which isn’t really something we’ve seen much or at all in Star Wars, but its existence is relevant to the story)
~Jude Law being a very good actor
~Also practical puppets for droids and aliens (which is something that happens in pretty much every Star Wars show/movie, but it is all very good in this show).

~an excellent acrobatics show that is a reference to another beloved piece of Star Wars media

Yeah something light would be nice too

It’s not 100% light, but it is child friendly and definitely lighter than Andor.

I dunno if At Attin even gets snow
Perhaps he was named Snowball before SM-33 crashed on At Attin. I don't think any of the characters ever mention his name in the show. We only know it thanks to the StarWars.com Databank. My guess is he gained the name from someone on Captain Rennod's crew.

…do we think Snowball was alive back when the ship crashed?
He’s an alien rat so it’s possible. But I has assumed he was an At Attin rat who had burrowed into the ship from the outside and made his home therein.
severe kindle

When he first showed up in Episode 2, the latter was my original theory. But by the end of the series, I started to believe the former. After all, we have no idea what the maximum life span of a creature in the Star Wars galaxy is. Maz Kanata has been confirmed to be over 1000 years old, and her death has not been shown on screen.
velvet rivet
Fair enough.
severe kindle
I vaguely remember reading a Star Wars novel that mentioned that your home planet had an effect on your lifespan, even if you were humanoid. I.E. Corellians like Han might live longer than Tatooinians like Anakin. But that book is now Legends, so I'm not sure if that's canon or not.
velvet rivet
It is generally understood that living on Tatooine ages people faster.
And while this fact is mostly to cover for how the original actors for Obi Wan and Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru were all older than they should have been chronologically (as the prequels established later) it also makes sense because nobody ages well in a desert with one sun, let alone two.
