Contains the following spoilers for Star Wars: The Crew Season 1 Episode 4, “Can’t Say I Remember It’s Not In Atlin.”

When Jodh Na Naud (Jude Law) tries to find Et Ethlin to bring Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), Kay Bee (Kiriana Crater) and Neil (voiced by Robert Timothy Smith) home and for his own purposes , Onyx Cinder lands on a planet that is shockingly similar, yet completely different. Star Wars: The Crew of Skeletons Season 1, Episode 4, “Can’t Say I Remember It’s Not In Atlin,” reveals that the eponymous planet is also of great interest to other space pirates, namely SM-33 (voiced by Nick Frost) is a mysterious old captain who is sure to leave a few surprises for people who try to follow his footsteps to the mysterious world. This episode, however, is set on At Achrann, a post-apocalyptic, warring version of At Attlin that serves as a surprisingly dark entry in the planetary series that makes up the so-called Jewels of the Old Republic.

“Skeleton Crew” is happy to give credit to other projects, and At Achrann adds a big dose of “Fallout” to the overall vibe of the Star Wars show. With Attlin’s debut, viewers were introduced to a retro-futuristic suburb that bears similarities to the pre-nuclear world of Fallout. In At Achrann, we get some of the “after” picture, and the ravaged planet looks a lot like the wastelands where most of the Fallout franchise’s narrative takes place. The perpetual state of conflict on the planet even seems to nod to the famous “Fallout” tagline: “War. War never changes.”

Could Skeleton Crew’s mysterious planets be similar to Fallout’s vaults?

The interesting thing about the show’s increased Fallout vibe is that Episode 4 also confirms a few other hidden “precious” worlds: Aituu, Atrisia, Aravin, and Akoda. Since Attin and At Achrann have virtually the same locations, it makes sense to assume that the others do as well. Both planets also share an eerie “watchtower” that hides interesting information and serves a mysterious purpose.

Considering the influence of “Fallout” on two Values ​​of the Old Republic we’ve seen, it’s easy to wonder if the same planets and their ominous Overseer towers are secretly similar to Vaults. In Fallout, vaults are huge nuclear vaults which are supposedly designed to help their inhabitants survive the apocalypse. In reality, however, the residents are subjected to all sorts of brutal ordeals and (sometimes literally) inhumane conditions, which are usually overseen from the Overseer’s office.

As it stands, this theory makes a surprising amount of sense. Peaceful, controlled Attlin and chaotic At Achrann are much the same, but their inhabitants are subject to drastically different conditions, and their Overseer’s towers seem to serve the same narrative purpose as the Overseer’s offices in the Vaults. Atlin’s reputation as a treasure house may even mean that it is a control “repository” that has been spared the grisly fates of other gems…though given the planet’s strange bureaucratic devotion to the so-called Great Work, it may well be conducting its own strange experiment. Future episodes of “Crew of Skeletons” will show what life is like in other Jewels of the Old Republic, and we’ll see how far the show is willing to crawl down the “Fallout” rabbit hole.

New episodes of Star Wars: Crew of the Skeletons air Tuesdays at 6:00 PM PT on Disney+.
