If Jod was smart, he’d use the mint ship to fake being a Republic emissary and just collect more credits whenever he needed them. There is literally no need to steal them with force.

[u/Rosebunse → u/amateur_techie]

The problem is, I don't think there is enough money in all the world for Jod, especially since absolutely no one likes him and he would likely be paranoid for the rest of his life.

[u/Air-Master28 → u/Rosebunse]

Yeah this is your classic greed story, Jod will probably make off with a large amount of treasure in the finale and turn around to “just get a few more” and be killed in the process.

[u/hypermark → u/Air-Master28]

I said this in another comment, but he's giving off Elsa in Last Crusade vibes. The possibility of redemption will exist but greed will overtake him.

[u/Swiss-ArmySpork → u/hypermark]

He's literally stood in a room with more riches then he could possibly imagine, yet his first thought was "how much more is there?"

[u/LordMacDonald → u/hypermark]

Long John Silver at the end of Muppet Treasure Island lost his treasure because he loaded the lifeboat with too much

[u/Rosebunse → u/Air-Master28]

And maybe some of that is understandable? Whatever happened to Jod, he clearly can never feel safe. We know lots of bounty hunters and pirates betray their own, but Jod takes it to another level.

[u/KlausLoganWard → u/Air-Master28]

Like Beni in The Mummy

[u/Air-Master28 → u/KlausLoganWard]

Jod: think of my children

Wim: you don’t have any children

Jod: some day I might

[u/Sack-O-Spuds → u/Air-Master28]

The credits is his Waingro

[u/PowderedToastMan93 → u/Air-Master28]

i think hes going to end up locked in the vault... to die.

[u/dogecoin_pleasures → u/Air-Master28]

Loading on too much gold for the ship to take off would be a classic!

[u/Thousandtree → u/Air-Master28]

I think the "the crew loves me---no, the crew loves plunder" is a bit of foreshadowing for the lesson Jod is about to learn.

[u/earthgreen10 → u/Air-Master28]

that's such a obvious and cliche ending though..i want to see a villian win for once

[u/Aggravating-Feed1845 → u/Air-Master28]

For At Attin to remain a secret it’s kinda necessary for the pirates to die. But that would probably be too dark for the show.

[u/FrostBricks → u/Rosebunse]

Yup. He already found Tak Rennods treasure. That room was full of riches. More than enough for him and his crew. 

And yet, in that room, he betrayed the kids because he wanted even more

[u/Lildyo → u/FrostBricks]

I mean, to be fair, most of that treasure was booby-trapped and might not have been worth the hassle while also on the run from pirates trying to kill him

[u/FrostBricks → u/Lildyo]

He crawled out of that manhole covered in gold jewelry.  And had no trouble getting past the traps we did see.

Sure, X-Wings then chased them off, but he had no way of knowing that would happen when in that room.

Like he'd won. But it was not enough. So he heel turned anyway.

He might still get redemption. SM-33 can be repaired, and he didn't squish-kick the rat. But goshdarn seeing such riches, and still saying "I want more"? That's a crazy level of greed that means he should never be allowed to leave At-Attin.

[u/not_thrilled → u/FrostBricks]

And there were over 1000 of those rooms!

[u/Clarine87 → u/not_thrilled]

Not that room. ;)

[u/thomasberubeg → u/Rosebunse]

No, no, the crew love him!
