170. Skeleton Crew: S1E4 "Can't Say I Remember No At Attin" Recap and Discussion

How many times have we heard "Can't Say I Remember No At Attin" through four episodes of the Skeleton Crew? It's almost like they wanted us to know there was something to it. While This is the Way Podcast made an educated guess to what would be the key to unlocking SM-33's memory, the planet name really was At Attin. The foreshadowing came from the "Jedi Mind Trick" or rather the "Fern Droid Memory Override" bit. Best to stand back when reprogramming murderous pirate sidekicks. Episode 4 of Skeleton Crew is not without weak spots. The Troik and Hattan on At Achrann may have modeled their military on the peacekeepers of the Old Republic. You're telling me the people on these planets have NEVER had someone exhibit some strange behaviors like pulling things to them in mid air, choking someone with their mind, or fooling their teachers with a wave of their hand? Maybe that's by design. The show is still enjoyable and there's still a chance the mystery is worth the speculating, but this was the first time the writing, pace, and story seemed off. It's not just original trilogy kids that feel that way, but our review podcast episode is the one you want to hear the opinions of a 2010s new Star Wars fan.
