Skeleton Crew Episode 7 Review: Answers, Lightsabers & Cliffhangers Are Exactly What I Wanted From This Exciting Penultimate Entry

Warning: This post contains spoilers for Skeleton Crew's episode 7

Skeleton Crew episode 7 barrels toward the ending with plenty of answers, the threat of lightsabers, and Jude Law having a blast. Skeleton Crew season 2 may be possible after the show's ending, but episode 7 furthered the feeling of finality as the last episode beckons. Overall, I've had a blast with this show. From Skeleton Crew's many Easter eggs to its compelling characters and fun, easygoing, but no less interesting story, the show has been a delight.

Episode 7 proved to be no different in furthering my enjoyment of the show. The story picked up after episode 6, with the kids back on Skeleton Crew's Onyx Cinder and flying home towards At Attin. However, the group clashes with Jude Law's Jod Na Nawood as Skeleton Crew's cast of characters are reunited in a tension-filled race to the fabled treasure planet of Star Wars' galaxy. What follows is another strong installment of the show that adequately sets up a phenomenal finale with expectedly strong performances and tension.

Skeleton Crew Episode 7 Provides Satisfying Answers To Its At Attin Mystery - While Teasing More To Come

Mysteries & Answers

At Attin in Storm Skeleton Crew Episode 7

One of the biggest elements of the episode was the return to At Attin. In only 30 minutes, the installment answered several lingering questions, from the true nature of the planet's Barrier to how the Onyx Cinder can travel through it and what the ship even is. The secret of Skeleton Crew's Republic Mint was also provided, showing one of over 1000 vaults filled with never-ending, exceedingly valuable credits.

Each of these answers was satisfying after six episodes of teasing the mysterious nature of At Attin. Meanwhile, other questions were raised. The intriguing plot point of who exactly the Supervisor of At Attin is and what he wants hangs over episode 7, making the episode itself more compelling while sufficiently teasing next week's finale.

Jude Law Is Having A Blast In Skeleton Crew

Episode 7 Gives More To Jod's Character Than Any Installment Yet

Although Jude Law's performance throughout Skeleton Crew has been great thus far, episode 7 allowed him to truly shine, and Law seems to be thoroughly enjoying his time as part of Star Wars. The enthusiasm of his performance is always prevalent, be it in his angry, threatening rants to the kids of Skeleton Crew or the subtle, manipulative ways Jod keeps himself alive.

In a show with such a strong cast, Law stands out just as his character does, with the cliffhanger scene making his motivations even more blurry and, thus, more interesting. If I were to critique one element of episode 7, it is that Law overshadows the other pirate characters, leading to a disappointing end to the endlessly cool Brutus. That said, Law is having such fun that it's hard to look past him, with the resolution of his relationship with the kids and his need for credits and glory being the most pressing plot points of Skeleton Crew's final episode.
