New Star Wars show Skeleton Crew has resolved a burning question from Andor with just one line of dialogue. The following contains mild spoilers for Skeleton Crew episodes 1 and 2.
In Skeleton Crew, a group of kids are stranded in space and are searching for a way back to their home planet of At Attin. The twist, though, is that no one seems to believe At Attin actually exists – or they’ve just never heard of it at all.
At one point, pirate droid SM-33 lists other planets beginning with A: Al Alcor and Aldhani. While Al Alcor doesn’t seem to have previously existed in Star Wars, Aldhani showed up in Andor: it’s the location of the heist on the Imperial facility.
In Andor, it’s a grassy planet still populated by the native Dhani, though there is a heavy Imperial presence. By Skeleton Crew, though – which takes place about 15 years later on the Star Wars timeline – it seems to have become a “sulfurous bog world,” as SM-33 calls it.

While Skeleton Crew doesn’t explain what happened to Aldhani, we can make an educated guess. The Imperials most likely destroyed it in service to the Empire, leaving it an environmental ruin.
Whether the kids manage to make it home to At Attin remains to be seen – but, at the end of episode 2, they do recruit the help of a mysterious stranger, who might just be a Jedi…
