‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ Episode 4 Review: Adventures On The Wasteland

The latest Star Wars series Skeleton Crew continues with a new episode titled “Can’t Say I Remember No At Attin”. Read our Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episode 4 review below.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew follows a group of students who uncover a mysterious bunker on their home planet of At Attin, they eventually get lost in the galaxy and must find their way home making friends and foes along the way. Read the synopsis below:

Skeleton Crew follows the journey of four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, then get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy, crossing paths with the likes of Jod Na Nawood, the mysterious character played by Law. Finding their way home—and meeting unlikely allies and enemies—will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined.

This episode picks up directly after the crew retrieve coordinates for At Attin, in the opening seconds I immediately went “This can’t be it right?” until I was thrown a curveball and the crew arrived on a wasteland.

Right off the bat, the tone is already drastically different from that of At Attin, there’s an ongoing war where we get to meet new characters such as Hayna (Hala Finley) and how they interact with the crew. Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law) continues to prove himself as a great character as highlighted in Zanda’s review, during the first half of the episode I began to realise how much I enjoyed Jod and by extension, Jude Law compared to his performance as Yon-Rogg in Captain Marvel.

The episode then shifts to focus on Neel’s (Robert Timothy Smith) point of view, which gives us the opportunity to highlight his kinder and inspiring nature that I’ve often seen disregarded for the more timid and silly character we’ve seen from previous episodes.

There was a moment where Jod and the crew hugged each other which really warmed my heart, they gave me the feeling of a family and raised my hopes that Jod will change as the series progresses serving as a sort of father figure to the crew.

The episode also furthers the mystery of At Attin and its sister planets, there was one part of the episode where I felt the camera movements were really disorienting, fortunately, it was short-lived and likely just a part of the sequence.

Overall, the episode served well to develop some of the characters by showing them a different perspective of their home while also expanding on this mysterious story established for At Attin. I hope the remaining episodes highlight each character, allowing us to see other sides of them.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew stars Jude Law as Jod Na Nawood, Ravi Cabot-Conyers as Wim, Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Fern, Kyriana Kratter as KB and Robert Timothy Smith as Neel. The first four episodes are now streaming on Disney+. Episode 5 premieres on December 24th at 6PM PT / 9PM ET.
