Skeleton Crew The Great Work and other mysteries (spoilers)

The shoe is a semi mystery shoe so I thought the mystery itself deserves its own thread

 

Nooo I should have posted my theory here and not in the general thread then!
Can I repost it?

 

I don’t recall any mysterious shoes in the show.

 

Is that a Wicked crossover?
Can I repost my great work theory here???
I am
WIMsy today
Can I push the button can I?

 

Is the mystery shoe Cinderalla's?

 

Looks like the shoe's on the other hand now.

 

With all the talk of math and economics...they must be balancing the Republic's check book.

 

From my extremely limited understanding of the math discussion in episode one, and exciting jobs like "analyst", it seems finance oriented as well. Maybe the accounting planet of the High Republic? It has to be better than balancing different types of currency. Looking forward to being surprised.

 

My theory about the “Great Work” is that
it seems all related to money and currencies.. kids are being fed advanced economics at school and they speak about taking into account the fungibility of multiple currencies, they learn tables by heart that are not multiplication tables but may be CONVERSION tables (Wim says the table of five and then something like 0.604…) they have a lot of credits they use freely As if they were devoid of value for them…
I am starting to think the great work may have been that At Attin was a sort of vault/bank used to stock currency and maybe keep it from the galaxy in order to regulate economy by avoiding inflation and such by taking some part of a certain currency out of the market to regulate it? And also trading by currency exchange in order to make profit… I am not an economist do we have an economist in here? I also think the ship that was boarded by the pirates in the start was up to something and that the vault was indeed full before… what if the planet is not completely isolated but it is still used for its intended purpose of vault (but not market regulator maybe) by someone posing as the Republic but it is not?

What if when the empire took over they kept using it sent a new supervisor and when the empire was taken down the information was erased and the supervisor on theplanet stayed in contact with imperial remnants and they are now using At Attin to stock money to build the “budget” for what the shadow council (that’s the right name right?) wants to do?

The supervisor knows, the others have no idea?

Wim’s father is starting to doubt something?

And also KBs mums said she has “ a medical condition” and a vital monitor and needs to be checked but KB also felt people in the hallway… crazy theory:

What if KB is force sensitive and the cybernetics is there to harness her so she does not “show” and she does not “feel” that something is wrong on the planet? And that’s how they keep the (inevitable every now and then) force sensitive kids who are born on the planet from messing up something? They are tested identified and harnessed with the cybernetics and the parents told they have an “illness” that needs to be “cured”?
(That may just be my adhd self transposing the “your kid as a disorder it is called adhd you need to give them methylphenidate all the time to “cure them and make them normal” … I sometimes see parallels between such thing as ADHD and being force sensitive … it can be a great gift but it needs a lot of training and effort and someone has to show you the way or it could also be very destructive on your life and what is around you… Ehehe)
And the mural definitely means something about the families of the kids?

But yeah I think At Attin is now under control of imperial remnants who are storing money on it and deceiving the population who thinks they are still working for the republic but they are now acting as a bank for the imperial remnants and maybe trading… that’s what it is all the analysts and system coordinators.. they trade currency and make profit? It would definitely track with what the kids are taught!Sankey diagrams are used for money flows, fungibility of multiple
Currency, conversion tables… stuff like that, we need a financial analyst to validate the theory Ehehe

 

I'm thinking the Great Work is more about keeping something in, rather than keeping others out.

 

I love that the great works ties into Old Republic era. And i think this is a banking planet for Imperial remnants

 

It’s psychohistory! Well, maybe not.

 

There’s obviously something that you could define as ‘treasure’ related to At Attin, as the show hasn’t been backwards in leaning into the whole pirate shtick.

But I would find it very very hard to believe that the secret, or ‘treasure’, of a kids, pirate, Jedi adventure would be that At Attin are the old accountants of the republic

 

Maybe there is a real treasure. There are shots of cave with booby traps which indicates there a physicality to this treasure, rather than mystery calculations having to do with galactic finance.

 

Brogue-One: A Star Wars Story

 

Plus, Kh'ymm describes the jewels as places of wonder - a normal planet with finical purposes doesn't really count for that, especially as the Republic has many banking themed worlds already.

And finances mean little without trade and commerce, but an isolated world has no trade partners. While obviously there is plenty of room for banking and financial analysis for a planetary economy, it is hard to imagine society revolving around it like this one seems to without a larger economy to be a part of.

So yeah...really no idea what is going on at this point, and very curious to find out.

 

Ah **** I just realized it’s misspelled as shoe. **** me

 

My theory.

The Supervisor is the former Captain of the Onyx Cinder. After finding At Attin, he/she/they take control of the society so they can search for its treasure. This is the great work the characters refer to.

The end.

 

I want to know when and how these worlds were lost to the populace of the Galaxy

 

This mistery is misterying every episode more… I like it!

 

If this show truly wanted to transcend into something legendary, it would show that the real treasure in At Attin is that everyone has the same amount of fortune and they all live happily, without greed, classes or discrimination. A utopian community, which must be protected from the greed of the outsiders.

What is the difference between a semi-mystery shoe and a full mystery shoe?
How many people know about the former as opposed to the latter?
Maybe it is a planet where they keep the Old Republic finances after all.... if the (mysterious) shoe fits...

 

Questions:
For how long this "experiment" has been going on ? How the pirates did become aware of the treasure's legend? Were the other 8 "jewels" known as "treasure planets" or the SM-33 captain just went to At Achrann to find the route to At Attin ?And how didn't the Empire ( always craving for money) never learn by "experiment", particulary At Attin ( then again i'm assuming the experiment began hundreds of years before fall of the republic, to the point Palpatine would think At Attin was just a legend too.)?
To who the "supervisors" did respond?
And the Jedi Order? Was the original Order unaware of all of this? At Attin's people seemed very knowledgeable of the Jedi on the other hand.
And the New Republic at least knows about At Achrann?
