While Lyco (Lane Factor) is stunned to learn his protector is Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman), he continues on with her as the former Sith looks up an old acquaintance who might help them find other Jedi. Attempting to trade their skills for the info, the pair agree to help out the bounty hunter Latts Razzi (Clare Grant) and her droid in stealing from the Empire, at least until the heist goes sideways and Lyco learns the former Jedi-killer is far more trusting than a bounty hunter will to do whatever she can to make a buck. While providing a bit of action, the episode’s purpose to provide some trust between the unlikely pair is successfully.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew somewhat mercifully comes to a close in the most Disney Channel finale one could have thought up. “The Real Good Guys” gives us the pirate invasion of At Attin, which does no real damage other than to some empty buildings, and the kids defeating Jod (Jude Law) and the pirates once more bringing the New Republic to mop up. By the end, all the parents have a better understanding and appreciation for their children, the hidden world is now back among the stars, the pirates are all captured, and everyone can live happily ever after. Awwww.

After a somewhat shorter tour through space than expected, both the kids and the pirates arrive at At Attin. The arrival of the children actually saves Jod (Jude Law) from the pirates’ wrath as he turns circumstances to his advantage once more landing on the planet with the children to find a larger stash of gold than he could ever dream. The episode also gives us Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), and KB (Kyriana Kratter) outthinking the pirates on last time and their reunion with their parents, but ends with everyone still in danger from the greedy Jod who only needs to force the barrier down to allow the pirates access to pillage the planet which has remained hidden for years.
