Warning: This post contains spoilers for Skeleton Crew’s episode 7
Skeleton Crewepisode 7 barrels toward the ending with plenty of answers, the threat of lightsabers, and Jude Law having a blast.Skeleton Crewseason 2may be possible after the show’s ending, but episode 7 furthered the feeling of finality as the last episode beckons. Overall, I’ve had a blast with this show. FromSkeleton Crew’s many Easter eggsto its compelling characters and fun, easygoing, but no less interesting story, the show has been a delight.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
Cast
Skeleton Crew follows four ordinary children who become lost in the expansive Star Wars galaxy. As they navigate unfamiliar worlds and the challenges they present, the group endeavors to find their way back to their home planet, undertaking a journey across the iconic Star Wars universe.
Episode 7 proved to be no different in furthering my enjoyment of the show. The story picked up after episode 6, with the kids back onSkeleton Crew’s Onyx Cinderand flying home towards At Attin. However, the group clashes with Jude Law’s Jod Na Nawood asSkeleton Crew’s cast of charactersare reunited in a tension-filled race to the fabled treasure planet ofStar Wars’galaxy. What follows is another strong installment of the show that adequately sets up a phenomenal finale with expectedly strong performances and tension.
Skeleton Crew Episode 7 Provides Satisfying Answers To Its At Attin Mystery - While Teasing More To Come
Mysteries & Answers
One of the biggest elements of the episode was the return to At Attin. In only 30 minutes, the installment answered several lingering questions, from the true nature of the planet’s Barrier to how the Onyx Cinder can travel through it and what the ship even is. The secret ofSkeleton Crew’s Republic Mint was also provided, showing one of over 1000 vaults filled with never-ending, exceedingly valuable credits.
Each of these answers was satisfying after six episodes of teasing the mysterious nature of At Attin. Meanwhile, other questions were raised. The intriguing plot point of who exactly the Supervisor of At Attin is and what he wants hangs over episode 7, making the episode itself more compelling while sufficiently teasing next week’s finale.
Jude Law Is Having A Blast In Skeleton Crew
Episode 7 Gives More To Jod’s Character Than Any Installment Yet
Although Jude Law’s performance throughoutSkeleton Crewhas been great thus far, episode 7 allowed him to truly shine, and Law seems to be thoroughly enjoying his time as part ofStar Wars. The enthusiasm of his performance is always prevalent, be it in his angry, threatening rants to the kids ofSkeleton Crewor the subtle, manipulative ways Jod keeps himself alive.
In a show with such a strong cast, Law stands out just as his character does, with the cliffhanger scene making his motivations even more blurry and, thus, more interesting. If I were to critique one element of episode 7, it is that Law overshadows the other pirate characters, leading to a disappointing end to the endlessly cool Brutus. That said, Law is having such fun that it’s hard to look past him, with the resolution of his relationship with the kids and his need for credits and glory being the most pressing plot points ofSkeleton Crew’s final episode.
