Merry Christmas ya filthy Nerf herder's! The last time we released a Holiday Special Commentary it was December 29th 2021 - two years ago! It's not that we want to bore you, and this episode of our podcast should be skipped entirely if you don't want to watch along with us. But we realize perhaps some of you want to crack jokes or watch the worst piece of television history with company.. cause let's be honest, watching this alone would SUCK. Grab some egg nog, a brew, some of those Christmas cookies and join us for the most wonderous, most confusing, most aweful episode of Star Wars television.
WATCH THE HOLIDAY SPECIAL HERE! (START AT 00:13 SECONDS IN)

Today we join Josh, Blake and Kirk for final segment on what could have been with Episode IX. This week, it's Colin Trevorrow's episode 9 (leaked) script - bullet point style. Now this information is public knowledge at this point, it was also leaked on reddit by someone way back in 2020. But assuming this could have been legit, let's take a look at the possible episode we will never see created. The script which had Colin walk away from Lucasfilm over "creative differences". Which Episode IX do you prefer?

Alan Dean Fosters Episode IX Pitch? | Podcast Episode #300!
Monday Nov 20, 2023
Monday Nov 20, 2023
Celebrating Star Wars Escape Pod for 300 episodes!!! Join Blake, Bryce and Josh as we read through a 10 page "fan fiction outline" by the recognized author of previous Star Wars novels - Alan Dean Foster. Join us as we laugh our way through this hilarious and interesting outline for Episode 9 if Alan had it his way. As we all know, Colin Trevorrow was supposed to write and direct Episode 9. After a falling out with Lucasfilm over the script amazing to think how many possible ways this saga could come to an end. Last week we heard about George Lucas's vision for the sequels. This week is Alan.. Stay tuned next week for the one and only original by Colin as well!

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.
