This week on the Star Wars Escape Pod, Josh and the crew are diving into a double-feature "Aftershow" for the latest action-packed chapters of Maul Shadow Lord! From Chapter 7: Call to Oblivion, where Maul faces off against the 11th Brother while dealing with a glitchy mechanical leg, to Chapter 8: The Creeping Fear, featuring high-octane speeder chases and dark visions of Darth Sidious, this episode covers it all. The team breaks down everything from the "Attack of the Clones" vibes during the chase scenes to the tragic backstory of Maul and Savage Oppress on Dathomir. Plus, they discuss some last-minute news about Star Wars Celebration 2027 and the major era changes happening over at Galaxy’s Edge. Strap into your escape pod—it’s going to be a wild ride through the galaxy!

Strap in for a lively after-show, but before diving into the deep end, the guys swap some major Star Wars news, specifically dishing on the 50th-anniversary Celebration coming to LA in 2027—including some pretty funny sticker-shock over those VIP tickets and some more star wars news! We have Maul episode 6&7 on the menu tonight, with the Empire locking down a city to the "power partner" potential between Jedi survivors Dackey and Devon - these episodes are packed! A well-executed train action sequence has us very keen. Between the personal ratings, some hilarious banter about Anakin's lost diary and a chat about Star Wars books, it’s a classic hangout session for anyone who loves the galaxy far, far away.
