Viewers are eager to know why At Attin is a hidden planet in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. The new episode features Crimson Jack and the children forging a partnership to locate their home planet, At Attin. They go to Jack’s old ally, Kh’ymm, who they potentially think could help them in their mission. The owl-like creature also gives more insights into At Attin and why it’s situated in a secret location. Here is an article detailing the theory behind At Attin being a hidden planet.
Why At Attin was hidden from the galaxy before Star Wars: Skeleton Crew?
According to Kh’ymm, At Attin was kept hidden to safeguard it from any threats.
Episode 3 titled “Very Interesting, As An Astrogration Problem” features Jack, Wim, Neel, Fern, and KB heading to the desolate moon to meet the owl-like creature, Kh’ymm. They want him to aid them in locating the At Attin, and that’s when he discloses important information about the planet. Kh’ymm reveals that the main reason the planet’s location isn’t known to many is due to its safety.
Moreover, she also reveals it to be a part of the Jewels of the Old Republic. Kh’ymm explains At Attin was the only planet that managed to remain safe while the others were destroyed completely a long time ago. The planet since then became associated with children and legends stories.
What are the Jewels of the Old Republic in Star Wars?
Kh’ymm explains Jewels of the Old Republic is a “group of planets of wonder kept hidden for their protection.”
Among other jewels of the Old Republic, the planet At Attin is the lone survivor. However, it remains unknown why these planets were slayed and who was behind this cruelty. A theory also suggests that something fishy must be going on in At Attin, which allegedly might have destroyed the others to guarantee its safety from any potential threats. Moreover, At Attin could have just ended other planets and hoarded their treasures, making them its own. The planet may therefore be hidden so that no one would dare to discover the treasures. Nevertheless, these are just theories with the real reason yet to be revealed in the show.
