By Germain Lussier Published January 15, 2025 | Comments (5) | If nothing else, Skeleton Crew gave us Neel. And for that we're grateful. Image: Lucasfilm Now that the first season, but hopefully not the last season, of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is in the books, its time to talk spoilers. Creators and showrunners Jon Watts and Christopher Ford recently sat down to do just that and addressed basically everything you were curious about: Jods past, At Attins future, whether or not their show will be returning for season two, and so much more. Their answers dive into big spoilers for the show, so if you havent caught up yet, nows your last chance. In their full interview with Entertainment Weekly, which you can and should read here, Watts and Ford discuss Jods character arc, his backstory, plot lines they didnt get to explore, the closing credits, and season two potential. One of the highlights is their discussion of the final look Jod gives peering out the window of At Attin, and what it could mean for him.Ive watched this episode 10,000 times in editing and in every stage of post-production, but watching it last night with my family, that was the part that kind of actually made me feel something I hadnt felt before for some reason, Ford said. Just him now alone and thinking his thoughts, ruminating. That hit me in a way that it hadnt before.Its one of those performances where it is open and real enough that you find yourself projecting a lot of yourself onto his expression, Watts added. I was trolling Reddit while you were watching with your family. Different people were reading different things. Some people were like, Oh, hes happy to finally have to drop this ruse. Or its like, No, hes regretful because hes looking out at this perfect family landscape and hes all alone. People saw every different variety. One piece of variety we wont get to see just yet is which Jedi Jod was training with. However, the showrunners do admit they left it vague to potentially deal with it in the future.In our heads, its like the potential to go deeper, Ford said. That part of the story is something that could be explored in the future. So when you have something thats a kind of work in progress like that, you leave it open enough to get worked on and made better.Yeah, not in this season, Watts added. But whats great about Star Wars is that you start talking about someones backstory and theres already a history and allure that surrounds it. So you start getting excited about, Oh, well, where do you place this person if its X amount of years ago into this larger galactic timeline? Its just such a rich world that you can have so many variations and varieties of characters and backstories, and its just like limitless potential. Its very fun. As for a second season, its something theyve been thinking about but havent been given an official go-ahead on yet. We have ideas in our heads for sure, Watts said. Were waiting to find out what everyone else thinks, but weve always had an idea of where this could go even before we made the first season. So theres lots of potential out there and hope everyone sees that.And, if that does happen, that all of the kids are likely to have aged significantly wont matter. Their ideas dont start the next day after the season one finale. We wouldnt pretend like the kids are only six months older if we made more, Watts said. It is fun to think of them growing up and where they would fit into the galaxy and how their world would be changed by the events of what happened in the first season. And interconnected wise, how the events of the other shows would impact At Attin, Ford added. It doesnt have to be a cameo, because if theres historical events are happening in the galaxy, its going to affect everyone.Yeah, their secluded planet is now officially a part of the larger galaxy. So what would be the ramifications of that? Watts asked. Seems like maybe they have their season two storyline figured outif season two comes to pass.
