After the youngsters beg him to return for SM-33 earlier than taking off, we be taught definitively that Nawood is the truth is Captain Silvo, the masked pirate who didn’t ship to his staff within the opening sequence of episode 1. This explains why Nawood was within the brig to start with. As soon as Nawood returns to the kids on their ship, they set off towards an previous acquaintance of his – somebody he believes can assist them discover At Attin.
This somebody is an owl-like creature named Kh’ymm, who seems to be working at a New Republic outpost. She doesn’t appear to belief Nawood both, although she is aware of him as Crimson Jack, one more identification that makes us surprise how a lot these children ought to actually be trusting this man. Kh’ymm is a bit more keen to assist when she realizes that the youngsters are trying to find At Attin, which she appears to treat as greater than only a legend.
Kh’ymm’s outpost is mainly an area library and I might gladly spend hours right here with this owl and her books, scrolls, and information pads. Whimsical libraries and fact-finding missions are essential elements of treasure hunts and different adventuring tales, and I recognize that the present was capable of finding a enjoyable method to incorporate that into the sequence.
Regardless of her greatest efforts to stall the crew whereas she waits for New Republic reinforcements to take Nawood/Jack away, Kh’ymm will get carried away by the thrill of the hunt and manages to search out some essential details about At Attin’s location earlier than they arrive. They be taught that At Attin is the final remaining Jewel of the Outdated Republic, hidden away from the remainder of the galaxy a very long time in the past. In speaking with the kids, Kh’ymm learns that the Barrier they discuss with is probably going made from nebula gases, which helps slim down the search fairly considerably. They aren’t in a position to uncover rather more, nevertheless, earlier than X-Wings arrive.
Fern is hesitant to let Nawood/Jack again on board, and insists that he inform them the reality of his identification and comply with work for them earlier than she relents. They narrowly escape the X-Wings, with Greatest Boy Neel surprisingly on the helm, setting off within the route of those clues and sure their subsequent journey.
In the meantime, again on At Attin the kids’s dad and mom are fearful sick about them. We be taught that there’s a supervisor who supposedly oversees the planet and its connection to the Republic, however that typically, making contact with anybody exterior of the Barrier is forbidden. This explains why not one of the kids know concerning the battle or that the Jedi have been basically worn out – At Attin actually has been hidden from the remainder of the galaxy for who is aware of how lengthy.
