Erin and Matthew break down Episode 7 of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, bringing us closer to the highly anticipated finale. As the series approaches its climactic end at At-Aton, our hosts dive deep into the shocking revelations about Jod's true nature and the mysterious vault planet's secrets.What turned Jod from a potential ally into the show's main antagonist? The hosts explore this dramatic shift as they discuss his brutal actions, including the shocking decapitation of SM33 and his cruel taunting of the children. They examine whether his past and possible connection to the Jedi Order might explain his antagonism toward the "sheltered and spoiled" kids of At-Aton.Why is At-Aton so significant in the Star Wars universe? Matthew and Erin unpack the revelation that this secretive world serves as a Republic vault planet, complete with rare Deerity coins and strict protocols for receiving emissaries. They question the timeline of these diplomatic visits and debate the effectiveness of the planet's security measures.Key topics discussed:
