My biggest question is about Tak Rennod and the Onyx Cinder. Just exactly how or what happened? Did he steal a ship from At Achrann, destroy the directions for At Attan, then somehow got onto the planet, undetected, crashed? Died? And the ship was left unnoticed long enough to get covered by nature?

I feel like anyone going beyond the barrier would be noticed by the droids immediately. I really expected Tak to be the grandfather of someone on the planet. That he arrived to this paradise, had a change of heart and hid his ship to live out the rest of his days. But I can’t really see that as a possibility now.
