This article contains spoilers for "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" episode 8, "The Real Good Guys."

Skeleton Crew is one of the most refreshing Star Wars titles in a long time. It's a show that appeals to audiences of all ages thanks to its young cast, with wide-eyed wonder about the franchise and the use of frightening imagery to sell the danger the characters are in. It's also a series that features a wide variety of strange little alien creatures, which also helps make Skeleton Crew feel like a truly unique and lived-in part of a galaxy far, far away.

Most importantly, Skeleton Crew understands space pirates aren't just a cool addition to any Star Wars show.but they also deserve a whole series dedicated to them. That's the corner of the galaxy that Skeleton Crews inhabits, and the show excels at taking pirate tropes and archetypes and translating them into Star Wars, whether it's the bulk of the plot of Treasure Island, the names of characters derived from Peter Pan, or simply (and finally) introducing space marines to the property.

Indeed, Skeleton Crew is big on homages to other titles, and in the Season 1 finale, The Real Good Guys , we get another homage to classic literature and cinema. That's what happens when Jude Law's force-sensitive criminal, Jodh Na Naud, takes Fern (Ryan Kyra Armstrong) and her mother Farrah (Kerry Condon) hostage and forces them to accompany him to meet the mysterious warden - known as (supposed to be) the individual in charge of the entire operation in Athens - in order to allow his pirate ship to land safely on the planet. We've heard a lot about the Supervisor throughout the first season, but when it comes time to meet him, the Skeleton Crew ends up borrowing a page straight from The Wizard of Oz.

Who or what the supervisor is didn't really seem like much of a mystery in Skeleton Crew — at least not at first. It wasn't until we learned of Captain Renaud and his legendary quest to find the planet of Eternal Treasure that the idea arose among fans that maybe, just maybe, the pirate succeeded in usurping the hierarchy of Athens and made himself the overseer.

Of course, that's not what we see. Instead, the moment we arrive at the superintendent's office, we encounter a giant droid with a rotating Dalek-like head. Not a droid with Renaud's voice, nor a droid head that reveals the tiny Renaud inside. No, just a plain old droid running the entire planet. Essentially, Skeleton Crew pulls its own Wizard of Oz twist, revealing that the leader of the organization is just a small, sad machine that you can kill with just a lightsaber through the eye.

That said, it's a smart turn of events and a testament to the overall quality of the season 1 finale, which focuses less on providing answers to the series' earlier mysteries and more on a fun adventure. After all, if the Supervisor turns out to be Renaud, it wouldn't be a significant turnoff for either Fern or her mother, since the adults on Atin have already met the Supervisor and know he's a droid—a sentient one, not a pirate at all. Perhaps a potential second season could expand on the history of the Supervisor and the other At Attin droids... although, alas, if initial ratings for Skeleton Crew are anything to go bywe probably shouldn't get our hopes up.

The entire first season of Star Wars: The Skeleton Crew is now streaming on Disney+.
