This week on Star Wars Escape Pod we got The Original Trilogy up at the stand and we're diving headfirst into all the outtakes of the films. This ranges from deleted scenes, alternate scenes or shots, cut sub plots and more! All, or most of the deleted scenes we review are all accessible in the Extras tab on Disney plus behind each Star Wars film. Join Josh & Blake, and Darian as they guide you through the parts of Star Wars that have rarely been seen before.

At long last have we made our way around to the scenes that didn't end up in the final film, rather on the cutting room floor. Join Josh, Blake and Bryce as we journey through the deleted scenes of the prequel trilogy. Listen / narrated for scenes with no dialogue, but best enjoyed while you hang out with us over the podcast audio and follow along at home on Disney plus with your own visual guide as to how these deleted scenes look. Otherwise, we do our best to describe!

We all imagine moments in Star Wars that could have gone differently, weather it's a character line, a story plot, or even a whole cancelled project that nearly happened and didn't. Today we are talking the biggest missed opportunities that could have made Star Wars for the better, moments we never got spanning across the series. These aren't moments that didn't just happen, they're moments and things which ALMOST happened, which makes it even more crazy that they didn't! Tune in and hear us out on these biggest missed opportunities.

LEGO Star Wars has hit the shelves and we just finished playing through Attack of the Clones. We got our initial out of the gate review, how it plays, what it's like, and how you might like it. Also - Top 5 most influential characters is a topic that can be deciphered differently by everyone. Josh and Blake have made their own lists without collaboration and in this episode compare notes starting with the top, down. Tune in and find out why we chose the five we did. Why some ended up on the cutting room floor. You'd be surprised. Who would be on your top 5 list? - email us your list!

He's got blue skin, red eyes, a hat the size of Captain America's shield, and a voice as growly as a wolverine. Not to mention all the gadgets that would certainly make any bounty hunter drool over. His name is Cad Bane, one of the galaxy's deadliest bounty hunters and most infamous for getting his jobs done. Today we look at this character under the spotlight in every piece of story he's shown up before (to date). Let's dive into the character of Cad Bane and catch up on what his story looks like BEFORE Episode I all the way up to The Book of Boba Fett.
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 include 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.
