Curious why Star Wars: Skeleton Crew fans are convinced that Tak Rennod is secretly the elusive Supervisor? The mysterious figure’s identity has sparked plenty of theories, and one name keeps coming up.
Here’s what we know: Tak Rennod’s pirate legacy, his obsession with At Attin, and the key moments that connect him to the Supervisor’s role. Let’s break down why this twist makes perfect sense in the Star Wars universe.
Why fans think Tak Rennod is the Supervisor in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
Tak Rennod is introduced as a notorious pirate and former captain of the Onyx Cinder in Skeleton Crew. Known across the galaxy for attacking starships, he became a legendary figure by the time the show takes place. His primary goal was to find the hidden planet At Attin, one of the Jewels of the Old Republic, which served as the mint for the Republic and was known as the “lost planet of eternal treasure.”
Rennod’s quest for At Attin led him to another jewel planet, At Achrann, where he discovered the coordinates to his desired destination. After securing the information, he killed his crew and ordered his droid, SM-33, to erase the remaining evidence. His crew later betrayed him, but before they could take him out, he ensured their deaths by crashing the Onyx Cinder on At Attin.
In Episode 5, Tak Rennod’s lightsaber is discovered in his lair beneath Skull Ridge Mountain on Lanupa. Wim finds the Jedi weapon first, though he fumbles with it and accidentally throws it away. Later, Jod Na Nawood retrieves the lightsaber using the Force, hinting at its potential significance in the story.
The mystery of the Supervisor deepens throughout Season 1. The Supervisor enforces At Attin’s strict isolation from the galaxy. In Episode 7, it’s revealed that only the Supervisor can break the planet’s protective barrier. Fans theorize that Tak Rennod may be the Supervisor. His ship is buried within At Attin, suggesting he reached the planet and stayed to safeguard its treasure.
The upcoming season finale is expected to provide answers regarding Rennod’s fate and the Supervisor’s identity.
