"Might you be thinking of Atollon?"
"No."
"Al Alcor? Aldhani?"
―SM-33 and Fern[1]

Al Alcor was a location in the galaxy.[1] Around 9 ABY,[2] after a group of children found the starship[3] Onyx Cinder[4] on the planet At Attin, the human boy Wim accidentally caused it to jump to hyperspace.[3] The children then met the droid SM-33 aboard the ship, and the human girl Fern told him to take her and her companions back to At Attin. As the droid was unable to recall At Attin, he suggested other locations she could have meant, including Al Alcor and[1] the planets[5] Atollon and Aldhani.[1]

Behind the scenes

Al Alcor was mentioned in "Way, Way Out Past the Barrier,"[1] the second episode of the Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,[6] which aired on December 2, 2024.[7]

Notes and references

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 SkeletonCrew-FinalLogo Star Wars: Skeleton Crew — "Way, Way Out Past the Barrier"
  2. Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition, SWInsider "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well. StarWars.com SWCA 2022: 20 Highlights from Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes place in the same timeframe as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Ahsoka—the latter of which can also be dated to 9 ABY following the reasoning here. As such, Skeleton Crew must take place around 9 ABY as well.
