This week on the Escape Pod, we're joined by special guest Dr. Steve Ellerhoff to explore the deep psychological and mythological roots of Star Wars, as detailed in his new book, "Jung and Star Wars". We explore how Carl Jung's concepts of archetypes, the unconscious, and synchronicity are woven into the very fabric of the saga—from the nature of the Force and Anakin's tragic nightmares to the hidden symbolism in Luke's Jedi robes and the powerful Dyad between Rey and Kylo. Prepare for another happy landing into the deepest lore of the galaxy!Find Steve!https://www.sgellerhoff.com/

This week on the podcast, hosts Josh and Blake, joined by their friend Darian, are discussing the latest Star Wars news from San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). George Lucas's first Comic-Con appearance since 1976 to promote his upcoming Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which will feature a vast collection of pop culture artifacts.
Our conversation shifts to Star Wars collectibles, including new Hasbro Black Series action figures and the new crowdfunding campaign for a highly-detailed, three-and-three-quarter-inch scale Republic Gunship. The Lucasfilm publishing announcements for upcoming books and comics, such as a Darth Grievous hyperspace story, a prequel novel for the Star Wars Outlaws video game, and a comic series introducing a new "boogeyman" character called the Nightlander.
Lastly, we dive into the cancellation of the Acolyte series, debating whether it was due to low viewership or the inflated budget? We also briefly discuss Josh's experience playing the new Indiana Jones and the Great Circle video game and their thoughts on spinoff shows.

Get Ready for Cantina Banter!
Ever wondered what it's like to just hang out at a Cantina in a galaxy far, far away? Well, buckle up, because we're launching a brand-new sub-series on Star Wars Escape Pod: Cantina Banter!
Forget scripts and planned topics – we're heading to the Cantina for some chill, unscripted conversations. We'll be kicking back, letting the conversation flow wherever the Force takes us, and maybe even throwing in some Star Wars trivia challenges along the way. Think of it as our second hyperspace lane for entertainment, even if our chats in these aren't officially labeled a dedicated Star Wars podcast topic. It's all about pure, unadulterated fun, just like a good old-fashioned Cantina brawl... but with more talking and less dismembered limbs!
So, grab your favourite space beverage and get ready for some unplanned, unpredictable, and undeniably fun Cantina Banter!
