The Star Bores podcast (Peter and Iain) join Josh in the Escape Pod to chat about the Mandalorian season 2 that is finally completed and wrapped.

Josh will show on the Star Bores podcast for a cross over as well so be sure to check that out when it comes up. You can follow Iain and Peter on social media here:

Star Wars 2020 | Retrospective

2020 has been a crazy insane year. Let's face it, it sucked. But what didn't suck was all the cool Star Wars stuff we got from Disney / Lucasfilm! Dreams came true when Clone Wars season 7 launched and Bad Batch was announced. Mandalorian had it's second season, resistance came to a close with season 2 and we had multiple star wars VR video games launch as well! Between book launches and announcements and new content on Disney plus we ended up having a force filled year beyond that of any other! In a way. Although Celebration being cancelled was kind of a bummer. Let's chat with Josh and Blake in the escape pod for one last ride in 2020 before we head lightspeed into 2021.
2020, it's time to say goodbye. May the force be with you all!

THE MANDALORIAN | Chapter 15 “The Believer” | Mayfelds Redemption

What a great episode! Directed by Rick Famuyiwa, both intense action and adventure filled. Had major solo train heist vibes all over. Bill Burr's Mayfeld has fantastic character moments in this one.

SO. The Disney Investor Day happened... breath, breath, breathing, I keep telling myself.

We listen to the coverage of Kathleen Kennedy announce the slated projects, have a chat about them and of course break down what some of these projects could hold. Let's dive right in!

THE MANDALORIAN | Chapter 14 “The Tragedy” | Boba’s Return

We've been waiting a long time to see Boba Fett in some real on screen live action, action.. You know, without it ending in him diving head first into a sarlaac pit. Well this is the episode, brought to us by the director of "Spy Kids" and "Sharkboy and Lavagirl" comes a new episode of "The Mandalorian", chills all over this one! So much to chat about, Boba's heritage, Jango Fett, Mandalorian culture, Tython, Dark Troopers, you know what... let's just have you tune in to see where we go with all this. Joining us today is non other than Blake, Bryce, and returning to the Escape Pod is Calvin, one of the first voices you heard on the show last year!

THE MANDALORIAN | Chapter 13 “The Jedi” | Ahsoka Tano

I can't believe the day has come to chat about a live action Ahsoka Tano, watching all the animated shows has really started to pay off! We'll catch you guys up on her story a bit and chat about where she was and what's happened since, but my only recommendation is to watch Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels to really get the full picture and story. Us sharing this info is not the same. George Lucas put a lot of care into creating the Clone Wars for a good reason, it's just as much Lucasfilm as his films are.Ahsoka really stole the show in this episode, and it's exciting to think we might even see her again. Some minor complaints to share but still really cool to see her.
What are your theories as to what will happen? Send us an email! Let's chat some Mandalorian...

THE MANDALORIAN | Chapter 12 “The Siege” | Snoke’s Origins?!

I think we just saw Snoke. A mangled body and a deep choir monk song in the background... I got a bad feeling about this... But also a very good feeling because it means we finally get some connections and some answers to the sequels.. possibly! Let's chat all about The Siege, the latest episode from The Mandalorian. Such a great direction by Carl Weathers himself. Stick around for some chat about the Battle of Jakku, the contingency plan, CHRONOLOGICAL VS RELEASE order with this day in age. We had a great time chatting star wars this week and we want you guys to get in on the conversation feel free to reach out at the links below to let us know your thoughts, and as always, this is a non-profit so feel free to help us out by sharing with a friend / fellow fan, and by giving us a great star rating :)
As always, may the force be with you.

THE MANDALORIAN | Chapter 11 “The Heiress” | Bo-Katan & Ahsoka

WOAH. Massive name drops this week! So much to talk about and today we dug up a lot of stuff about this episode which was pretty awesome! Bo-Katan searching for her darksaber, Ahsoka is around the corner, and we got some great Imperial action happening. So many cool ties to the animated series and the films, this show is turning out to be fan-fricken-tastic. Join Blake, Reid, Bryce and Josh in the escape pod today for all the latest breakdown on Chapter 11 of season 2.

The Rise of Skywalker | Commentary Track

The FINAL installment in the "Skywalker Saga"... Or so Disney marketed it to be. Not only 15 years ago we remember fondly when Revenge of the Sith was marketed simply "The saga is complete". As a fan, in my personal opinion it's been trying times to see this sequel trilogy unfold. Walking out of this film I thought "whelp, what's done is done". I never once thought I'd be saying that about any star wars film until the last 5 years flew by. I do not believe Disney had any right to complete George's vision the way they did, first points being, Disney's vision was never George's vision, vice versa. Despite that, some fans absolutely love this film and that remains their opinion, respectively. But today myself (Josh), Blake and Reid sit down to re watch this finale, and really talk about it the way we feel, good and bad. Disclaimer if you love this movie to perhaps avoid listening to us on this one! We're not here to trash, but we are here to share our genuine thoughts. May the force be with us, one last time...

The Last Jedi | Commentary Track

The most controversial star wars film has reached us on the list of our chronological viewing order of the saga. Today we chat all about "Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi", some great ideas came out of this movie, but as Rian Jonson hoped for.. he made a very controversial film in the saga. Stay tuned at the end where we play footage of his reasoning for this. Now this film did break records, but made a lot of fans angry as well. We're going to watch this film, enjoy the parts we liked and critique the parts we didn't. This is Star Wars after all, we're all fans here of the franchise, so this is a disclaimer for anyone who feels differently about this trilogy and this film. Your opinion is respected, and we advise you not to tune in unless you're prepared for some sequel criticism.

The Force Awakens | Commentary Track

The first movie that kicked off the sequel trilogy was an extremely hyped film. Despite stellar reviews, some star wars fans (such as myself) knew it might be the beginning of a very different sort of trilogy than what we had seen before. Personally this trilogy is not my favorite in any way shape or form but it's still star wars, so we took our fair criticism to the commentary track and decided not to hold back on what we both like and dislike about this film. Join Reid, Blake and Josh as we chat "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens". This is Star Wars after all, we're all fans here of the franchise, so this is a disclaimer for anyone who feels differently about this trilogy and this film. Your opinion is respected, and we advise you not to tune in unless you're prepared for some sequel criticism.

Return of the Jedi | Commentary Track

The final film the original trilogy set a new bar for the pacing of films - modern films... lightsaber duels + starship battles + ground battle = "Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi". This is my personal favorite of the original trilogy and remains to be the iconic film in which audiences around the world saw the redemption of Anakin Skywalker for the first time in 1983. Join Josh, Blake, and Reid as we take you through the final classic movie which at one point was also known as "Revenge of the Jedi"!
