As I mentioned earlier in my first impressions reviews of the other episodes, this show has really impressive world building, especially in the context of other tv and movie SW media. I don’t think I can recall (of the top of my head, anyway) any other sci-fi series that did what this show did regarding the home of the lead protagonists. 

So, the kids and their families live on a planet that is entirely hidden by some kind of hologram veil. Or…something. Honestly, I was kinda lost on what the diddly that gas giant-looking planet was that surrounded their much tinier home. At first, I thought At Attin (sp?) WAS that giant green planet with the Mustafar looking surface that seems virtually inhabitable. But then, as they continued flying, I realized all of that was the JUST the barrier. Like, WOAH. Super impressed by that.

I can only compare that level of planetary secrecy to perhaps the nation of Wakanda from the Black Panther comic series. That country has a highly valuable natural resource in Vibranium metal buried deep underneath the land. And numerous invaders over the centuries have always tried to pilfer this resource. At Attin doesn’t seem that much different in that respect. What does set the two apart is how the citizens seem to view their natural resource.

Again, AMAZING scene/sequence revealing the physical nature of the kids’ home planet. One of the best things Ive seen in SW :3

Oh yeah… Narwood and that saber… Okay, did he just straight steal that from someone? Buy it from a black market seller or is he actually a Jedi-turned-pirate??? I’m very curious to have my suspicions confirmed or denied next ep because I just have no words at this point.
