Wim's mother

The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A female individual was the mother of the human boy Wim, who was born around 1 BBY and lived on the planet At Attin. She read stories to Wim, and by around 9 ABY, she had died. Around that year, Wim asked his father, Wendle, to read him a story like his mother had, but Wendle refused. Wim later spoke about his parents with the pirate Jod Na Nawood, who told him that he would see them again soon. The boy responded that that was not true of his mother, and Na Nawood then advised Wim to forget his parents.

Biography

A female individual was the mother of Wim, a human boy from the planet At Attin—which was separated from the rest of the galaxy by the Barrier—who was born^[2] around 1 BBY.^[1] The individual read stories to Wim,^[2] and by around 9 ABY,^[1] she had passed away.^[3] Around that year,^[1] in his home on At Attin, when Wim felt that he was unable to sleep, he asked his father, Wendle, to read a story to him like his mother used to. However, Wendle stated he needed to work and added that Wim was getting too old for bedtime stories.^[2]

Later, Wim and a group of other children discovered the starship^[2] Onyx Cinder^[4] and became lost after accidentally causing it to jump to hyperspace.^[2] The children eventually allied themselves with the pirate Jod Na Nawood and traveled to the planet Lanupa, where they hoped to find At Attin's coordinates so they could return there. On the way, Na Nawood found Wim sitting on the floor of the ship. Wim admitted that although he had wanted an adventure, it was different than he expected, and that he missed both his mother and father. Na Nawood told Wim that he would see them again soon and then began walking away, but Wim responded he would not see his mother. The pirate then sat with Wim and advised him to forget his fears, anxieties, and parents, claiming he did not need attachments, but Wim said he could not do so.^[4]

Behind the scenes

Wim's mother was first mentioned in "This Could Be a Real Adventure,"^[2] the first episode of the live-action Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,^[5] which aired on December 2, 2024.^[6] Ravi Cabot-Conyers, who portrayed Wim, often journaled in the character's mind, mostly writing about his mother because little was known about her. Cabot-Conyers said he enjoyed imagining what Wim's life was like before she passed away and that showrunner Jon Watts did not give Cabot-Conyers many details about Wim's mother, as he wanted him to figure them out for himself. In one journal entry, Cabot-Conyers theorized that Wim's mother had fueled his zest for adventure and that he missed making crafts with her. He also complimented Wim's optimistic outlook toward the galaxy, believing that it served as escapism from being a motherless child, as well as from boredom and attachments. However, Cabot-Conyers also believed that Wim did get very attached, such as to his family and to a mobile his mother made him.^[3]
