Saw Gerrera | What Happened
Friday Aug 26, 2022
Friday Aug 26, 2022
Saw Gerrera is a character hard to keep track of in his small appearances across Star Wars, known mainly as the Rebel extremist, to others a terrorist. What kind of horrors can we expect him to see or experience in the upcoming Disney+ series Andor we don't know, but atrocities to the innocent in his fight against the Empire and as a key figure in the early rebellion I'm sure we will witness such things. Join Josh and Blake as they undergo an overlook and a lookback at the entire (so far) character arc of Saw Gerrera as we prepare for Star Wars: Andor!!!
What Happened!? A Star Wars Escape Pod sub-series.With each episode, "What Happened" provides a full catch up about specific character under the spotlight. You don't miss a beat, we includes just about every appearance of the character in our subject from the (canon) comics, novels, shows, and the films of course! And provide a chronological recap of their story in the galaxy far, far away (to date of podcast publish).

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.
