The Zeffo, also known as the Zeffonians, were an ancient sentient species native to the planet Zeffo. They were also introduced to us in Jedi: Fallen Order, a game which has a sequel coming at us in a few weeks time from now. SO, what was that giant mech-beast? Or more accuratly, who's was it? Who designed it, and to DO what? Did this have something to do with the Zeffo's extinction? Originally acting as a parrable to the fate of the Jedi Order in the video game, maybe this ancient civilization has more stories to come in the star wars lore.
This past week delivered us a very Indiana Jones-esk episode of The Bad Batch which we dive into first! Followed by:

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.
