We wish you all the best May the Fourth to each and all of you Star Wars fans! Today is a BONUS episode with some short Star Wars day announcements and our annual game of Ultimate Star Wars Trivia! Join Josh, Blake, Bryce, Tyler, Nick and Shawna for this fun filled Star Wars day adventure. And below is a love letter to star wars and Mr. Lucas on this special day written by your host, Josh.
May the 4th Be With You. As a #StarWars fan you probably binge the movies today, listen to all those May 4th Podcast celebration episodes. Perhaps you surf the holonet for those Star Wars Day discounts and sales that grab our attention. Maybe it's the day you sit down and watch #StarWarsVisions Vol 2 or #YoungJediAdventures with your younglings at home! Whatever it is you do to celebrate Star Wars today I just want to post this picture here so we can also celebrate the man who gave us this brilliant story. A gift to the world. A space fantasy that has touched the hearts of millions. It's served as inspiration, joy, connection and so much more for so many people. It's brought friends together. I love how much people love this story just as much as I do. Thank you George Lucas, so - SO much for your blood, sweat, tears and time in forging this galaxy far, far away where so many of us feel like we belong.

Not only did we finally get a trailer for Ahsoka, but we got a new one for Indy 5 as well! And oh.. by the way, Dave Filoni is directing a Star Wars movie. THAT'S FRICKEN RIGHT! Lucasfilm announced 2 entire new eras to the canon book ending the saga and also slipped in a hidden era we all are very familiar with but possibly put it there for the sake of a future announcement?
Fans will see movies in Dawn of the Jedi era, The New Republic, and New Jedi Order eras. Daisy Ridley returning as Rey and expansion on the origins of the Jedi by James Mangold? We got lots to break down here. Start tuning in each day for recaps of Celebration news, and of course stay tuned to the Discord in those Celebration channels to see daily transcribes of the live streams!CLICK TO WATCH THE AHSOKA TRAILER

"The Sabered Hand" would have been an appropriate name for this episode rather than the foundling, as it's exactly what this episode will be remembered for, however it may have spoiled the surprise.. Kelleran Beq.. ahem Ahmed Best returns to Star Wars with his character first featured in Jedi Temple Challenge! We absolutely love Ahmed and remember him fondly as Jar Jar Binks.
The Bad Batch returns with an episode on track to set us up for an epic finale at Mount Tantiss and a redeemed Crosshair who is now doing what he can to save Omega.
YouTini is approaching the Round 4 level so let's look at the latest matches and see which books were chosen! What book are you rooting for?

The Bad Batch may have cut ties with Cid for good but we're not sure it did this weeks episode any favors. Will Bo Katan stick with Mando's creed, the children of the watch? Will Moff Gideon return? Was that Thrawns tie fighter squad that blew up Bo's castle?? Let's dive in and chat about it.

The Zeffo, also known as the Zeffonians, were an ancient sentient species native to the planet Zeffo. They were also introduced to us in Jedi: Fallen Order, a game which has a sequel coming at us in a few weeks time from now. SO, what was that giant mech-beast? Or more accuratly, who's was it? Who designed it, and to DO what? Did this have something to do with the Zeffo's extinction? Originally acting as a parrable to the fate of the Jedi Order in the video game, maybe this ancient civilization has more stories to come in the star wars lore.
This past week delivered us a very Indiana Jones-esk episode of The Bad Batch which we dive into first! Followed by:

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.
