Skeleton Crew – The Real Good Guys
- Title: Star Wars: Skeleton Crew – The Real Good Guys
- wiki: link
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.

Skeleton Crew – We’re Gonna Be In So Much Trouble
- Title: Star Wars: Skeleton Crew – We’re Gonna Be In So Much Trouble
- wiki: link
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.

Skeleton Crew – Can’t Say I Remember No At Attin
- Title: Star Wars: Skeleton Crew – Can’t Say I Remember No At Attin
- wiki: link
Still searching for their home world, the crew’s robot steers them to what was likely once very similar to At Attin but now is a post-apocalyptic hellscape (or the Disney equivalent where nothing remotely violent happens on-screen). The crew spends a single episode on At Achrann with the kids and Jod (Jude Law) each joining opposing warbands until they meet up again with the crafty pirate captain having crafted a fix for all of them. The end of the episode teases clues to the real At Attin until it’s revealed SM-33 (Nick Frost) has been programed to forget about his experience with the former planet. When those memories are unlocked by Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) his orders to kill anyone asking about the planet are revived as well.

Skeleton Crew – Way, Way Out Past the Barrier / Very Interesting, As an Astrogation Problem
- Title: Star Wars: Skeleton Crew – Way, Way Out Past the Barrier / Very Interesting, As an Astrogation Problem
- wiki: link | link
The second and third episodes of Skeleton crew provide the first experience of space for Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), and KB (Kyriana Kratter) who find themselves lightyears away from home. Taken to a nearby pirate space station by the ship’s droid, who recognizes Fern as captain, the foursome discover trust is a commodity in short supply, although Wim does make the acquaintance of the marginally Force sensitive imprisoned former pirate captain (Jude Law) who he mistakes for a Jedi (and is all to willing to let that misconception stand). Escaping the port together, Jod, Silvo, Captain Jack, or whatever you want to call him, agrees to help the kids find their home believing the legends of treasure to be found on the lost planet of At Attin.
