Curious why Star Wars: Skeleton Crew fans are convinced that Tak Rennod is secretly the elusive Supervisor? The mysterious figure’s identity has sparked plenty of theories, and one name keeps coming up.
Here’s what we know: Tak Rennod’s pirate legacy, his obsession with At Attin, and the key moments that connect him to the Supervisor’s role. Let’s break down why this twist makes perfect sense in the Star Wars universe.
Why fans think Tak Rennod is the Supervisor in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
Skeleton Crew introduces Tak Rennod as a notorious pirate and former captain of the Onyx Cinder. He gains a legendary reputation across the galaxy for attacking starships, with stories about him spreading widely by the time the show takes place. He relentlessly pursues his main objective — finding the hidden planet At Attin, one of the Jewels of the Old Republic, which served as the Republic’s mint and earned the title “lost planet of eternal treasure.”
Rennod’s quest for At Attin led him to another jewel planet, At Achrann, where he discovered the coordinates to his desired destination. After securing the information, he killed his crew and ordered his droid, SM-33, to erase the remaining evidence. His crew later betrayed him, but before they could take him out, he ensured their deaths by crashing the Onyx Cinder on At Attin.
In Episode 5, Wim discovers Tak Rennod’s lightsaber in his lair beneath Skull Ridge Mountain on Lanupa. Wim finds the Jedi weapon first, though he fumbles with it and accidentally throws it away. Later, Jod Na Nawood retrieves the lightsaber using the Force, hinting at its potential significance in the story.
Theories point to the Supervisor as a Jedi who survived Order 66 and went into hiding on At Attin. The planet’s protective barrier and strict communication rules reflect a potential paranoia about being found. At Attin’s origins trace back to the High Republic era, raising the possibility that a Jedi took on the Supervisor role to shield the planet’s treasures and people from galactic conflicts. Rennod’s lightsaber, adorned with gold embellishments typical of High Republic-era Jedi weapons, reinforces this idea.
Season 1 steadily unravels the mystery of the Supervisor. This figure keeps At Attin isolated and holds the unique power to lower the planet’s protective barrier. Episode 7 reveals this crucial detail. Fans speculate that Tak Rennod fits the profile. His ship, the Onyx Cinder, lies buried on At Attin, hinting that he reached the planet and stayed.
The season finale promises to reveal the Supervisor’s identity and clarify Rennod’s connection to At Attin’s hidden secrets.
