Will the kids on Star Wars: Skeleton Crew finally find their home this week?
We’re now barreling right toward Episode 4 of the newest Disney+ show set in the Star Wars universe and it’s clearer than ever — partially thanks to interviews like Decider’s with the show’s creators — that it’s only going to get more complicated from here on out.
The series follows KB (Kyriana Kratter) Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), and Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), four children from the planet of At Attin who accidentally shoot themselves into hyperspace after stumbling upon an abandoned spaceship. The kids quickly come to find out that their planet is a mystery to the rest of the galaxy and it will not be easy trying to find their way home.
Along the journey, they encounter friends and foes — including Jude Law‘s character, Jod Na Nawood, whose motivations are unclear — in their mission to make it back to At Attin safely. It’s certainly not going to be easy as even the co-creators, Jon Watts and Christopher Ford, have testified that its a long road ahead for the stray children.
“The kids get into deeper and deeper trouble over the course of the season, that’s for sure,” Watts joked while chatting with Decider.
Now, it’s all about how they get in trouble, specifically in Episode 4. That’s why we’ve gone ahead and put together a little guide of everything to know about the new episode. Keep reading to get the answers to all of your most pressing Skeleton Crew questions.

How Did Skeleton Crew Episode 3 End?
The installment came to a close with Jod promising he would help get the kids home and playing just as coy as he did when they first met. In the final scenes, Jod — who exercised Force powers during his first appearance in the series — tells the kids that he “never really said” that he’s a Jedi and that he’s still not willing to answer their questions. Be mysterious then, Jod! The group barely escapes from X-wings who are chasing them and ride off into the starlight with no clear indication of where they’re going.
