"So, there's no combat on this At Attin?"
"No. But we do play this one game called slap ball."
―Hayna talking to Neel on At Achrann[1]

Slap ball was a game played on the planet At Attin during the New Republic Era.[1]

Around 9 ABY,[2] while on At Achrann, the Myykian Neel told the human Hayna that he was one of the best slap ball players on At Attin.[1] Later that same year, Neel played slap ball with Fern onboard the Onyx Cinder while the younglings were in hyperspace on their way home to At Attin.[3]

Behind the scenes

Slap ball was first identified in "Can't Say I Remember No At Attin," the fourth episode of the Disney+ live-action series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,[1] which was released on December 17, 2024.[4]

  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.
