Time to abandon ship! Welcome to the Star Wars Escape Pod, the podcast that crashes head-first into the galaxy’s biggest news and takes. Today we’re checking out the latest Galactic Racer gameplay trailer and more! Join hosts Josh, Blake, Kirk, Dan, and Darian for our signature 'Bogan’s Advocate' segment. It’s the show where we dare to criticize the masterpieces we love, even if it makes us feel like total liars. From debating the return of the legendary Ben Quadinaros to acting out chaotic, impromptu scripts from the 'old diary of Darth Vader,' we tackle the franchise with zero filter and maximum hype. We’re covering everything from the frustration of decade-long game delays to the pure joy of seeing a pit droid’s head kicked off. Grab a drink, get into the pod, and let’s make another happy landing

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.

Get ready to jump into the escape pod for a stellar celebration! In this high-energy episode of the Star Wars Escape Pod, hosts Josh, Blake, and Bryce ring in Star Wars Podcast Day 2026. Joining the crew is the brilliant Dr. Steve Ellerhoff, author of Jung and Star Wars: A Contemporary Mythology, who brings a wonderful perspective as we look at the mythology from a Jung lens. From the nostalgic "artifact" of old Star Wars Insider advertisements and the rising cost of lightsaber collectibles to a mind-bending analysis of Darth Vader as a "shadow figure" and his "golden" connection to C-3PO, this episode blends fan-fueled fun with profound insights. Whether you're here for the "another happy landing" vibes or a Master’s class in Jungian archetypes, this is an episode you won't want to abandon ship on! Stick around until the very end for a hilarious, non-scripted surprise that captures the true spirit of the Star Wars Escape Pod crew!
