Editor’s Notice: The next accommodates spoilers for ‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’s Season 1 finale.Star Wars: Skeleton Crew‘s finale introduced the story to an finish with a confrontation with Jod (Jude Legislation), a pirate assault, and the destruction of At Attin’s barrier, but within the chaos, the collection made one character an sudden hero. KB (Kyriana Kratter) was an essential a part of the collection from the start, as have been all the kids who discovered to work collectively and have become mates after turning into misplaced in house. However Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers) and Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) at all times appeared essentially the most central. I do not say that to hate on KB or Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), who had among the collection’ finest moments, however when you have a look at the standard construction of this type of coming-of-age story, Wim or Fern can be the lead; they have been the 2 in search of journey and butting heads about who was in cost. Nevertheless, KB at all times intrigued me extra.

For a lot of the story, there was a thriller surrounding why she wanted her cybernetic prosthetic, which had an excellent payoff in Episode 6, “Zero Associates Once more.” Her character is quiet however decided, and the story behind her incapacity and her refusal to let others see her battle exhibits simply how resilient she is. The group would by no means have made it again to At Attin with out KB, however nonetheless, I used to be shocked when she was the one who saved the day.

Letting KB Save At Attin Was ‘Skeleton Crew’s Greatest Selection

When Jod has the higher hand, every of the 4 youngsters does their half, however with out KB, the others haven’t any hope of success. She bought again on the Onyx Cinder and flew previous the barrier to summon assist. This was a significant threat to her, as not solely did the present show simply how harmful the barrier might be, however she turned a goal for the invading pirates. For a minute, Skeleton Crew even permits the viewers to imagine KB sacrificed herself by crashing to At Attin after finishing her mission. Thankfully, the younger hero survived by means of SM-33’s (Nick Frost) expert piloting.

Although she was not essentially the most conventional selection to avoid wasting the day, Skeleton Crew having KB be the hero was an excellent transfer. It made for a satisfying conclusion to the storyline, particularly as she was the one who Kh’ymm (Alia Shawkat) linked to and supplied help. Plus, KB going up within the ship created actual suspense when the Onyx Cinder crashed, as it’s considerably believable that she might be killed off. I anticipated it to be Wim who saved the day for the reason that collection began by specializing in him, and in some methods, he did. All 4 kids rose to the event within the finale, however KB’s heroics bought the Republic to At Attin, and with out her, the pirates would have gained.

KB Saving the Day Gave Her ‘Skeleton Crew’s Greatest Character Arc

KB turning into the hero sends an uplifting message that’s typically lacking from the media. KB is an individual with disabilities, as seen by means of the cybernetic implant she wants. In Episode 6, she reveals to Wim that after being concerned in a crash, she can’t do every little thing she as soon as may. However, whereas KB struggles along with her disabilities, that does not cease her from saving the day. Illustration for individuals with disabilities is usually missing, which is a part of what makes KB’s story so nice. But what I like essentially the most about it’s that her heroism is greater than an effort to incorporate variety, as a result of it’s a deserved finish of her character arc.

KB’s story is about studying to face up for herself. As she reveals in Episode 6, KB has a tough time acknowledging her limits as a result of she fears rejection from her mates. She went together with the plan in Episode 3 regardless of her mistrust of Jod, and it seems she was proper. The complexities of her story, between her tragic previous and need for acceptance, make KB essentially the most attention-grabbing character within the collection just because it isn’t a typical character kind. She’s not the hopeful dreamer like Wim, the rebellious one like Fern, or the nervous finest good friend like Neel. She is relatable and layered; making her the hero provides to KB’s compelling arc.
