Dominic Pace | "Star Wars: The Mandalorian" Actor | SPECIAL GUEST INTERVIEW
Very special guest DOMINIC PACE was willing to join us on the show to chat about his role as "Gekko" in The Mandalorian. A surreal experience for him, I had a great time chatting with Dominic about his early fandom and his career, that which led to Star Wars and his story in getting the role as a bounty hunter on the first ever STAR WARS TV show for Disney plus. As a fellow fan, Dominic understands the fanbase and the community and he's incredibly willing to connect with fellow fans about this and all things Star Wars, get on twitter and follow him at @DominicPPace also check him out in his future work, look him up on IMDb. As a fellow fan, thank you so much Dominic for coming on the show and chatting with us. We support you and your career and your role as Gekko and hope for all the best, and to what comes out of it. Thanks again.

Early Review ”Force Collector” | Book Review | We Talk Star Wars Books!
The force is in all things - like between the pages of books! We join AJ in the Escape Pod chatting about Star Wars books today! Star Wars books have had a massive impact on fans over the years and have remained very important to the fandom and the franchise. It's what started the expanded universe and gave fans new stories when the films had hit a void of inactivity. They've provided inspiration for the films, the tv shows, the circle continues... Books have always played a vital part of the living fandom and we're super happy to discuss this with our very special guest and new friend Iain! He's managed to secure himself a copy of "STAR WARS: FORCE COLLECTOR" from his local bookstore in the UK. Listen to Iain give an early inside look at this novel that's available in north america in November. We also bring up some talk about MASTER & APPRENTICE, and DOOKU: JEDI LOST. Thanks again Iain for joining us in the Escape Pod, and AJ for joining the show!

We speculate on STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER from an article by "MAKING STAR WARS". Leaks posted there led us to speculate. HOW WILL SHEEVE RETURN? Obi-Wan Kenobi will return to a Disney + with EWAN MCGREGOR reprising his role as the Jedi Master, watching over Luke Skywalker on Tatooine 8 years after his duel on Mustafar. We also learn Diego isn't a fan of trailers...
