In the final episode of 2025, the crew of Star Wars Escape Pod celebrate a milestone year that saw the show reach its sixth anniversary and surpass 400 episodes. We dive into a comprehensive "Year in Review," reflecting on the 20th-anniversary theatrical re-release of Revenge of the Sith and the high-stakes conclusion of Andor’s second season. Between discussing their favorite new collectibles—from Galaxy’s Edge finds to the latest helmet releases—the team reviews a busy year of television, including Skeleton Crew, Tales of the Underworld, and the LEGO special Rebuild the Galaxy.

Are our choices really our own? Join your host as they dive deep into the interactive drama and intricate choice architecture of Quantic Dream's most ambitious narrative experiences: Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human.

We break down our own distinct playthroughs—from Jodie's supernatural path and Aiden's presence to the diverging fates of Connor, Markus, and Kara—to unpack the studio's storytelling style.

By analyzing the themes of destiny, deviancy, and moral ambiguity in these two games, what can we truly expect from the developer's upcoming High Republic action-adventure, Star Wars Eclipse?

Will the Outer Rim's destiny be forged by free will or a hidden narrative tether? We speculate on the future of choice-based gameplay in a galaxy far, far away!

If there's anything new coming out with a Star Wars label lately, it's Visions Volume 3 on Disney plus. This wacky volume of stories using the Star Wars license might not have any place within the canon, but it is a treat to see what a variety of anime studios can do if they smash thier heads together and fuse Star Wars with the world of Anime.
