- Bogans Advocate #3 | Revenge of the Sith | Force Collector Mini-Review
Welcome back to the Star Wars Escape Pod! In this installment of our "Bogan’s Advocate" series, we dive deep into the final chapter of the prequel trilogy: Revenge of the Sith. The rules of the game remain the same—we challenge our own perspectives by finding things to love in movies we might dislike, or offering "friendly criticism" of the films we absolutely adore.
Before we get into the main event, Blake shares a mini-review of his recent journey through Force Collector, a junior novel set shortly before The Force Awakens. We discuss the "campy" nature of junior fiction and debate the convenience of a main character whose psychometric abilities lead him to artifacts from the most pivotal moments in George Lucas’s films.

1 hr 8 min - Bogans Advocate #2 | Attack of the Clones | Maul: Shadow Lord Trailer
Hold onto your lekku, because this week we’re abandoning ship and diving straight into the Dark Side.
First up, we’re dissecting the brand-new trailer for Maul: Shadow Lord. Is Disney finally growing a pair and giving us a true villain protagonist, or are they just going to "Cruella-fy" our favorite horn-headed Sith? We’re breaking down Maul’s mysterious new "Acolyte" (could it be a canonized Darth Talon?), the "Inquisitor-lite" vibes of the new visual style, and why this show might finally bridge the 10-year gap between the Clone Wars fallout and his "ruler of the underworld" era in Solo.Then, the main event: Bogan’s Advocate returns.
We’re putting Attack of the Clones on trial. Is it a misunderstood masterpiece of political intrigue, or just two hours of CGI sand and awkward flirting? Our guests Blake and Dan join the fray to defend the indefensible and debate whether Maul and Ahsoka could have actually saved the galaxy if they’d just stopped arguing about Anakin for five minutes.

It’s time to play the ultimate Star Wars devil’s advocate. In this episode of Star Wars Escape Pod, we are debuting "Bogan's Advocate"—a challenge to depreciate the movies we love and find good in the things we didn't. Problem is we all love Episode I, but is it perfect? In our first episode of "Bogan's Advocate"—the crew breaks down the Binks slapstick, the missed opportunities with Count Dooku, and the polarizing length of the Podrace.
