Enter, Tarkin! Star Wars Rebels season 1 comes to a close and the first large union of the rebellion heats up the event known as the Galactic Civil War. Fulcrum's reveal, as well as comparing Ahsoka and Starkiller, both apprentices to Vader once upon a time, one canon, one not. Both backhanded two lightsaber stanced characters.. Big question, is there a place for Galen Marrik still in the canon?

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.
