Legends v Canon | Comparing the Timelines
If you're unsure what Star Wars Legends is, we breakdown not only what that is compared to the canon, but also how the stories and timeline events differ. Notable stories can be found in each chronology as well as different names for the eras involved with those stories. This SUPER sized episode contains an intermission in the middle to break it up into two sections. The first half covers Legends and the second half covers Canon. There's so many great star wars stories out there that need to be acknowledged and this felt like a great way to get into all that content in a compact format. Please help us out by lending a great review or by sharing this show with your friends online.

Clone Wars v The Clone Wars | Comparing & Breakdown
Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003) by Genndy Tartakovsky, bridged the gap between Episode II and Episode III. It was prominently known as the only animated bridge between films at the time until we had the debut of Star Wars: The Clone Wars in 2008 which is known today as a 7 season show on Disney plus (almost 8 before cancellation in 2013). 2003's Clone Wars (also known as the micro-series) has been remembered fondly by many star wars fans around the globe and has also been greatly respected as a work of 2D art in the animation community. Today, we break down what that show provided for us as fans and how it bridged the gap at the time of release / telling stories of the clone wars before Revenge of the Sith was on screens. How does it compare to the cinematic style 3D animated show Star Wars: The Clone Wars which introduced the likes of Ahsoka and Rex into the canon in 2008 onwards. Let's get into it.

Ahsoka Tano | What Happened
Known to many from "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", "Star Wars: Rebels", E.K. Johnsons "Ahsoka" novel, and of course "The Mandalorian" as well as her voice cameo in "The Rise of Skywalker". This character has been on a roller coaster journey, from the start when star wars fans were not too sure about her, but today she is a fan favorite character and has worked her way into the hearts of millions. Start to finish we break down Ahsoka's story arcs and key moments through her life, going from being the apprentice to the Chosen One, to something even greater. Let's dive into the full story [so far] of Ahsoka Tano.
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!

Star Wars: A Test of Courage | Review | Balance of the Force | The High Republic
Taking place 200 years before Episode I, the second novel in the High Republic series targets towards junior readers but it's not to be underestimated, this is a GOOD STAR WARS story, if you have not read the book this is a spoiler style discussion for both A Test of Courage and Light of the Jedi (if you have not listened to our previous High Republic discussions).
THERE'S MORE: A line in the novel sparked questions about what the balance of the force really is, what it means, and how justice plays into all that as well as in the prequels with the desolation of the Jedi. In classic Star Wars Escape Pod fashion let's break this down and figure it out.
What does the balance of the force mean to you?
How did you like "Star Wars: A Test of Courage" by Justina Ireland

(1980) A speculation on "The Clone Wars" | Vintage Article Uncovered
A vintage article from a 1980's magazine from "Fantastic Films" has surfaced and we're gonna read through most of it and break it down a bit, what was it like to live in 1980 when The Clone Wars was such a mysterious thing? This article here (Fantastic Films Collectors Edition #20 - Dec 1980) was written by a star wars fan 40 years ago and his insight on what the future of star wars could bring. The article headlines as "Clone Wars Explained". Fan theories have long been part of being a star wars fan, and today we rewind the clocks to 1980 with this exclusive piece.
