Bad Batch 1 Review | CLONE WARS CONTINUES!! | Inconsistencies in Canon?
The Bad Batch has premiered! Of course we look forward to the After-Show down the road with aftershow-host Diego (featured from our 40 part clone wars talk series). Until then, Blake and Josh have much to say on the weekly release of each bad batch episode going forward. Today we kick off with the premiere length Bad Batch MOVIE we had launch on May 4th. There was plenty to chat about today.
We also acknowledged Kanan's appearance as Caleb Dume (his real name) and the inconsistencies with the Kanan comic series, which was the original canon story that explained his origin. What other inconsistencies have happened from page to screen so far? We talked about those today too.
Also, stay tuned to the end for a special word and announcement regarding the podcast, rebels talk, the bad batch talk, and more from our Host to you, our special listeners. Thank you for tuning into our podcast and choosing Star Wars Escape Pod.

This film dropped recently on Disney plus in the Star Wars Vintage collection, only previously released on home video twice in history, 2004's DVD and the VHS / Laser disc in 1990, a whole 6 years after it aired on TV!! Imagine waiting that long if you missed the theatrical & at home tv air dates! Prepare to have some laughs, pop that corn and crack some jokes, this is one star wars movie to make some about.

Bo-Katan | What Happened
Introduced to us in "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", and then "Star Wars: Rebels", and "The Mandalorian" Bo-Katan has been a fan favorite character for years, played by the amazing Katee Sackoff, it's been excellent to see her go from playing her in animation to live action screen. But what has this character's arc been like, and where has she been in the overall saga through these multiple shows and interweaving stories? ALSO What can we expect from future star wars shows and films?
What Happened!? A new sub-series on the podcast.
With each episode of What Happened you'll be listening to a full catch up and in-depth conversation about specific characters and their story threads woven into the star wars saga. Don't miss a beat as we include every appearance of them in the (canon) comics, novels, shows, and the films of course!
This is a non-profit show, however we do ask to help share us around via word of mouth and by leaving a fantastic review to bring in more listeners. If you're itching to leave a donation though we ask that you do it here on World Vision and give the money you might donate to us to someone who needs it more. We hope you continue to love our podcast and help us grow our audience. May the force be with you.
