Not only did we finally get a trailer for Ahsoka, but we got a new one for Indy 5 as well! And oh.. by the way, Dave Filoni is directing a Star Wars movie. THAT'S FRICKEN RIGHT! Lucasfilm announced 2 entire new eras to the canon book ending the saga and also slipped in a hidden era we all are very familiar with but possibly put it there for the sake of a future announcement?
Fans will see movies in Dawn of the Jedi era, The New Republic, and New Jedi Order eras. Daisy Ridley returning as Rey and expansion on the origins of the Jedi by James Mangold? We got lots to break down here. Start tuning in each day for recaps of Celebration news, and of course stay tuned to the Discord in those Celebration channels to see daily transcribes of the live streams!CLICK TO WATCH THE AHSOKA TRAILER

Stranded on yet another dustball repairing our escape pod, join Kirk and Josh for a break as they chat 40 years of Return of the Jedi, Solo after 5, and all the amazing story threads those movies offered fans over the years. Zeb returns to Star Wars in this latest Mando installment! And it seems Bo Katan could lead the tribe now that she has a new position granted by the armourer..
Tech sacrafices himself for the greater good of the team citing "plan 99" as he goes down with the railcar in this final installment to season 2 of The Bad Batch. We see Director Krennic return to Star Wars as well. Tarkin and his homeworld of Eriadu and even Cid's betrayal.. There's a lot to get through, so join us for the amazing finale to The Bad Batch aftershow and all the rest this podcast episode has to offer.

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.
