Star Wars Escape Pod

"Rogue... Rogue One!". The legendary Star Wars movie pitched by John Knoll directed by Gareth Edwards and brought to the big screen in December of 2016. Today we do yet another very challenging thing, we play Bogan's Advocate. Now we all love this movie so there's going to be some gripes here today but that's the game son! Along with a few tid bits of star wars news and chat, join the crew and have a great time listening to them struggle on this new episode of Bogan's Advocate.

Grab a drink (it's tradition!) and buckle into the escape pod, because the crew — Josh, Blake, Darian, Bryce, and Kirk blasting in "from down under" — is back after way too long apart for a jam-packed episode of Star Wars Escape Pod. We kick things off previewing the horror-tinged fan short Dead Echo: Tales from the 501st, dish out "Pablo points and poodoos" for the returning crew regarding The Mandalorian and Grogu, and swap "merch moments" ranging from a mysterious Japanese Empire Strikes Back theater program (complete with a cast photo that looks suspiciously like "handsome George" Lucas moonlighting as a 1900s assassin) to a Celebration flight jacket and a hotly-debated Cody helmet with questionable weathering and a rangefinder that refuses to spin. We cap off with a tease of the summer Galactic Racer multiplayer tournament we'll be having later this year.

In hindsight this may have been a Cantina Banter, but alas, the wrong button was pressed!

Six years, five months, and a whole lot of anticipation have finally led to this moment. The Mandalorian and Grogu has officially arrived in theaters, and the Star Wars Escape Pod team is analyzing our first watch. In this episode, we go deep into spoiler territory to explore the critical narrative shift from the small screen to the silver screen, breaking down executive producer Jon Favreau's choices and mapping out where the franchise heads next with future films. Was the plot line too safe? Did the genre clash from "30s gangster beachfront palaces" to sci-fi warfare actually pull it off? We unravel the inclusion of deep-cut characters, weigh the film's legacy against Rogue One and Solo, and look ahead at what to expect from home streaming release later this year.

In this final after-show episode of the Star Wars Escape Pod podcast, we dive into the dramatic conclusion of Maul: Shadow Lord. We celebrate becoming founding members of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and successfully score tickets for next year's Star Wars Celebration—despite the chaotic online queue. As we dive deep into Shadow Lord, we analyze the "scary again" version of Darth Vader, comparing his relentless, silent killing-machine persona to horror icon Jason Voorhees, while debating the physics of his robotic limbs. Between lighthearted jokes about everyone dressing up as "Dash" (from Dash Rendar to the Mrs. Dash spice) and geeking out over new Hasbro Black Series clone helmet from ATOC. Join us as we wrap up the journey through the series with plenty of "food for thought" and a look ahead to the upcoming Mandalorian and Grogu movie.

STAR WARS DAY 2026 is here! We always celebrate May the 4th here on Star Wars Escape Pod—boy, that is a lot of "Star Wars" for one sentence.

As usual, we’re diving into the latest news and headlines hitting the galaxy this week. Watto and Yogurt shouted "MERCHANDISING," and we came running with our annual Star Wars deals infomercial—you betcha it’s always a good time (and Phil absolutely loves this stuff).

Joining us is the fabulous crew you know and love. Leading our game tonight is our elusive and lovable co-host, Bryce, making his return to the podcast! He’s leading the gang through a narrative role-play set in the Disney boardrooms, where the group must pitch their own drafted movie ideas to Dave Filoni and George Lucas.

Little do they know, this is actually a pitch meeting and not a heist or action epic like our Episode #400 game show!

Plus, they discuss some last-minute news about Star Wars Celebration 2027 and the major era changes happening over at Galaxy’s Edge.
