We complete the Skywalker Saga deleted scenes journey this week in this episode. With deleted scenes played from Ep 7-8, and to our sadness it was revealed to us that no deleted scenes exist for Ep 9. But we do our best to dive into this content and breakdown weather or not these scenes deserve a place in the final cut. Furthermore, how do they change the film?

Obi-Wan Kenobi is around the corner! But who are those villains? The Inquisitors helped Vader hunt down the remaining Jedi after the purge, in the Obi-Wan Kenobi show we will be seeing a story unfold 10 years later which takes place between episode 3 and 4. At this point, the Inquisitors are at their prime and they have been around for a while hunting Jedi. We've seen them in Star Wars Rebels, Fallen Order, "Ahsoka" (by EK Johnson), and "Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith" (by Charles Soule). But who are they really? What happened to them? Where did they come from and who's idea was it? What do we need to now BEFORE and AFTER Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place? Let's get into it.What Happened!?

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!

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.
