A vintage article from a 1980's magazine from "Fantastic Films" has surfaced and we're gonna read through most of it and break it down a bit, what was it like to live in 1980 when The Clone Wars was such a mysterious thing? This article here (Fantastic Films Collectors Edition #20 - Dec 1980) was written by a star wars fan 40 years ago and his insight on what the future of star wars could bring. The article headlines as "Clone Wars Explained". Fan theories have long been part of being a star wars fan, and today we rewind the clocks to 1980 with this exclusive piece.

If you haven't played "Star Wars: Squadrons" we got Reid and Josh in the Escape Pod to chat all about this latest installment to the star wars games library. This game did get released a while ago and it's time to now dive right in and share all about what this game is like, from cross-play to what it's like flying in the cockpit of an X-Wing, even in virtual reality. This game not only let's you experience what it's like to be an ace for the Empire and the Rebel / New Republic fleet, but it's a fantastic story that takes you on a truly immersive ride behind the controls of your favorite ships in the star wars galaxy. Hear about the story plot points and details, and of course elements on the game itself, how it's played and the different modes it has to offer. This breakdown of Star Wars Squadrons is everything you need to know about it before you buy, and if you're not buying... Let's just tell you all about it anyways, after all - it's a Star Wars story!

The Star Bores podcast (Peter and Iain) join Josh in the Escape Pod to chat about the Mandalorian season 2 that is finally completed and wrapped. When we had them on last it was to speculate on season 2 of Mando so it was perfect to eventually get them back on to chat about the result of that season and see how our speculation lined up with what we saw. Josh will show on the Star Bores podcast for a cross over as well so be sure to check that out when it comes up. You can follow Iain and Peter on social media here:

What books are we getting, what comics, graphic novels, disney plus shows ect, everything you need to know is right here in our fourth issue of "Lightspeed". The best way to experience the story itself is to just pick up the books for yourself at Indigo or even on digital, so far "Light of the Jedi" has had exceptional reviews and is so far deemed as one of the best original star wars books ever written in the canon so far. We got lots to look forward to so enjoy the episode catching you up on all things High Republic and the new star wars timeline!

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.
