So after watching the finale I’m feeling whelmed. I liked that it was largely just a story set in the Star Wars galaxy, I appreciate the lack of baggage, but I’m a little bummed that it just sort of ended.
I have so many questions after the show is over, questions that I hope are answerer in a future story, but I wish we got just a little bit.
How did the planet come to be hidden? What do the parents know about the “Great Work”, is it true or a lie? What happened to Jod? How will the New Republic act? Does this planet being discovered ruin someone elses secret plans? How does a planet whose sole goal is printing money work? How big is the planet/conspiracy? What about the other At planets? Why are they just abandoned? Who is/was the Pirate King (he was fuzzy/blurred out)?
This is how they were designed and intended to operate when they began making money
What do the parents know about the “Great Work”, is it true or a lie?
This was true. Their mission was to make money. It’s just they were disconnected from the outside for so long and kept going.
How Does this planet being discovered ruin someone elses secret plans?
I don’t think it ruins anyone’s secret plans. Most people don’t think the place existed and it was forgotten to history.
What about the other At planets? Why are they just abandoned?
I think it mentioned the rest of the “jewels” were gone and this was the last one. They likely were invaded or went to ruin on their own. It’s honestly a miracle AtAtin survived with their strict society.
Who is/was the Pirate King (he was fuzzy/blurred out)? I guess I’m excited for more
This is probably the biggest mystery left, probably on purprose.
What do the parents know about the “Great Work”, is it true or a lie?
Considering it started before the Empire (and they didn’t even know what happened), it seems to me that the Great Work was simply just the money minting operation. In fact, seeing how hard the whole planet has this '70s-80s America vibe, I imagine that it’s a really old ass secret, like, from a very long time ago in the Old Republic (as old as '70s America is to us!), the entire reason it got so big - because money. Everybody was simply indoctrinated into it, into keeping the secret and not stealing anything or leaving, but it wasn’t much more than that. Early guesses were that it would link into the sequel trilogy somehow, but it looks like it was simply a forgotten secret from the past, not for the future.
Jod’s fate can be anything they need, if they ever want to pick up the story later, if they want Jod to return, they can just say he escaped or hid or maybe he did time in prison and then got out. If they don’t, if Disney were to collapse tomorrow, you can just assume that Jod was captured and that’s that. There’s no real point in saying RIGHT NOW, if ever, how this wraps up, you don’t write yourself into a corner when you really don’t need it at all. It doesn’t matter, the good guys won. Any later detail is not that interesting until they follow through with something else.
What about the other At planets? Why are they just abandoned?
The Republic collapsed. It’s safe to assume that one planet got lucky and the others didn’t. Probably because they didn’t follow protocol as scrupulously as our guys!
Largely agree. It was, ironically, a realistic ending where they call for help and are rescued. Would’ve preferred something closer to Goonies or Home Alone.
I wonder if they held back answering some questions for season two. There’s a lot of ripe potential in the unanswered questions. Overall I enjoyed the show.
