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?

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.

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!?

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.

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.
