There was once a time fans referred to as "the dark times" just as Obi Wan Kenobi did to Luke when he spoke of the Empire. In this case, it was a large space of time where hardly to no Star Wars content was coming out. Long behold our saviour, Dark Horse Comics and Timothy Zahn. Special guest Adam joins us once again from our "Bucketheads" podcast episode to chat all about the 90's Star Wars content and what it meant for the IP. The title was essentially "saved" by these stories which forged the EU, stories that still drive narrative today...

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.

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.

Joing Josh, Blake and Kirk as we look ahead at what 2024 has in store for Star Wars Fans. SOME Star Wars podcasts, YouTube Channels and more have been circling around statements that "Star Wars Is Dead"... So we're here to set the record straight. Spoiler, you got lots to look forward to. As always we have a good laugh through the show on various subjects and stories. But highlights include a look at "Outlaws" by Ubisoft, Skeleton Crew, and The Acolyte.

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.
