THAT was a good episode, not one of us at escape pod thought otherwise. And sure it's not perfect but dang that choreography work was insane! The design of the dark warrior is not yet confirmed in the story as a Sith or what, but whatever he is, outside of the show, he is known as "The Stranger". So what made his armor deflect energy from those lightsabers? Let's chat about Cortosis, the events of the duel, an interview from EW on the series and of course the recent hot debate... Ren or Sith? Let us know your theories!

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.
