The penultimate episode for Skeleton Crew! We got loads to talk about this week and lots to speculate on! ALSO I researched each and every episode on Disney plus, by hand, calculated the runtime of each episode minus the credits, Lucasfilm logo, star wars intro, and "previously on" flashback to figure out which of these shows have delivered gold standard runtimes or not... Skeleton Crew is loosing the race, just a heads up. But in other news its been interesting to see which shows have the longest episodes and which stay above an average 35 min minimum. Check out and save the link below!! It's also been added to our linktree.

About
In 2015 we had an idea to create a Star Wars podcast that felt both fun, informative and different than the existing podcasts available to audiences in the Star Wars fandom. In 2019 that idea was made a reality with the launch of our first Intro (since updated) and the debut of the logo.
What's our Escape Pod theme about?
Our logo and podcast title is based on the first shot ILM ever completed in 1976 on "Star Wars". The escape pod launching from the Tantive IV. It remains an iconic shot to this day. In late 2022 we vectorized and modernized our logo that was once essentially a screenshot (with some photoshop applied) and turned it into a recognizable essence of the original but something we can call our own.
