Star Wars: Squadrons | Game Review | Breakdown (Spoilers)

If you haven't played "Star Wars: Squadrons" we got Reid and Josh in the Escape Pod to chat all about this latest installment to the star wars games library. This game did get released a while ago and it's time to now dive right in and share all about what this game is like, from cross-play to what it's like flying in the cockpit of an X-Wing, even in virtual reality. This game not only let's you experience what it's like to be an ace for the Empire and the Rebel / New Republic fleet, but it's a fantastic story that takes you on a truly immersive ride behind the controls of your favorite ships in the star wars galaxy. Hear about the story plot points and details, and of course elements on the game itself, how it's played and the different modes it has to offer. This breakdown of Star Wars Squadrons is everything you need to know about it before you buy, and if you're not buying... Let's just tell you all about it anyways, after all - it's a Star Wars story!

Star Wars 2020 | Retrospective

2020 has been a crazy insane year. Let's face it, it sucked. But what didn't suck was all the cool Star Wars stuff we got from Disney / Lucasfilm! Dreams came true when Clone Wars season 7 launched and Bad Batch was announced. Mandalorian had it's second season, resistance came to a close with season 2 and we had multiple star wars VR video games launch as well! Between book launches and announcements and new content on Disney plus we ended up having a force filled year beyond that of any other! In a way. Although Celebration being cancelled was kind of a bummer. Let's chat with Josh and Blake in the escape pod for one last ride in 2020 before we head lightspeed into 2021. 2020, it's time to say goodbye. May the force be with you all! ———————————————————————— Star Wars Escape Pod 🖥️ Website: https://swescapepodcast.wixsite.com/star-wars-escape-pod 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/SWEscapePodcast 🦋 B.Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/swescapepodcast.bsky.social 🌐 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/SWEscapePodcast 📲 Swell: https://www.swellcast.com/swescapepodcast 📧 Email us or send a voice message to: swescapepodcast@gmail.com 🗃️ Podcast Archives: https://shorturl.at/cktPQ ————————————————————————
