The Star Wars Banking System | Explained
Monday Mar 24, 2025
Monday Mar 24, 2025
This week we dive into a tough topic for most, Banking.. in Star Wars. It's not the most exciting topic, and sure it can even anger fans who never appreciated the lore about the prequels. But it's relevant, and needed, and this week we read through an article that explains a lot of fundamentals about the galactic economics. So let's join Josh and Blake and dive right in.

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.

"One With The Force" | Dr. Krista Noble (Special Guest)
Tuesday Nov 19, 2024
Tuesday Nov 19, 2024
This week, we have a very special guest chatting to us about her new book launch! Today, November 19th, 2024, comes a book called "One with the Force: 18 Universal Truths in Star Wars."
This book is sure to be a hit with any Star Wars fan with a desire to dive deep into the inspirations of the force.
We hope you enjoy the conversation!
BUY THE BOOK TODAY:https://www.amazon.ca/One-Force-Universal-Truths-Star/dp/1538198711
www.kristanoble.com
https://www.facebook.com/krista.noble.92About Gary and George:
https://web.archive.org/web/20050612235541/http:/www.adherents.com/people/pl/George_Lucas.html
Book Summary:
Why are the Star Wars films so popular? Of course, viewers love the characters, the plot, the music, and the special effects. However, there is a deeper reason why these films resonate with audiences: Star Wars contains universal truths—principles that are "true for all time, all places and all people." The same principles can be found in religions and philosophies throughout the world, including the Vedic tradition of ancient India, Buddhism, Taoism, Sikhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Native American/First Nations beliefs.
In One with the Force: 18 Universal Truths in Star Wars, Krista Noble explores these principles. She delves into a rich array of topics, from the Force to collective consciousness, and from enlightenment to immortality. Readers will see that the philosophy of the Jedi doesn’t only apply "in a galaxy far, far away"; it is also highly relevant to everyday living. Like Luke Skywalker, we should all look within to discover the deepest truths of life, pursue our individual destinies, and strive to reach our full potential as human beings. In these ways, we can embody the wisdom of the Jedi.
Advance praise (if there's room to include it):
"An intriguing addition to Star Wars scholarship, which reveals the timeless substructure underpinning the space-age saga. If you watched the Star Wars movies with a feeling in your bones that you were seeing something unfold that was not merely the product of modern creative storytellers but something ancient and powerful, this book will tell you why."
—Joe Holland, Instructor of Consciousness & Human Potential, Maharishi International University
"One with the Force reveals why Star Wars touches the souls of its fans, showing that this iconic film series has much more to it than meets the eye. Noble’s book expounds on the universal principles in Star Wars that inspire us and sustain the cosmos."
—Marci Shimoff, #1 NY Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason and Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul
"This lucid study takes up a topic dear to my heart—the uses of fiction as a wisdom path—and traces essential principles from South Eastern and other traditions of wisdom and spirit appearing in Star Wars. The parallels mentioned by the author are evocative and even archetypal. The image of a path of spirituality emphasizing balance, experience, mindful action, and unity found in difference speaks strongly to our time of culture wars and increased questioning of traditional creeds."
—Craig Chalquist, PhD, author of Soulmapper
"Krista Noble's insightful presentation of the Star Wars trilogy highlights and magnifies the inherent nobility of this blockbuster film series, as she unearths and identifies age-old universal principles of life and living embedded in the story. Noble's book provides a happy hunting ground for exploring the profound truths of the world's cultural, spiritual, and religious traditions. A magnificent read!"
—Dr. Judy Booth, retired faculty member at Maharishi International University, continuing to serve in an advisory capacity

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.
