Today we join Josh, Blake and Kirk for final segment on what could have been with Episode IX. This week, it's Colin Trevorrow's episode 9 (leaked) script - bullet point style.  Now this information is public knowledge at this point, it was also leaked on reddit by someone way back in 2020. But assuming this could have been legit, let's take a look at the possible episode we will never see created. The script which had Colin walk away from Lucasfilm over "creative differences". Which Episode IX do you prefer? ———————————————————————— 🤖 Discord: https://discord.gg/KucPjer 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/swescapepodcast/ 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/SWEscapePodcast 🌐 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/SWEscapePodcast 📲 Swell: https://www.swellcast.com/swescapepodcast 📧 Email us a voicemail message: (Reveal on our channel) 🗃️ Podcast Archives: https://shorturl.at/cktPQ ———————————————————————— Our Friends STAR WARS | ORBITKEY https://www.orbitkey.com/collections/star-wars https://x.com/orbitkey?s=20 https://www.instagram.com/orbitkey/ ALKY SOLUTIONS https://www.youtube.com/@ALKYSolutions https://www.tiktok.com/@alky_solutions https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/ALKYSolutions https://www.instagram.com/alkysolutions https://alkysolutions.com/ Contact ALKY for $10 off your lightsaber when you tell them you're a listener of the podcast!

Celebrating Star Wars Escape Pod for 300 episodes!!! Join Blake, Bryce and Josh as we read through a 10 page "fan fiction outline" by the recognized author of previous Star Wars novels - Alan Dean Foster. Join us as we laugh our way through this hilarious and interesting outline for Episode 9 if Alan had it his way. As we all know, Colin Trevorrow was supposed to write and direct Episode 9. After a falling out with Lucasfilm over the script amazing to think how many possible ways this saga could come to an end. Last week we heard about George Lucas's vision for the sequels. This week is Alan.. Stay tuned next week for the one and only original by Colin as well!   https://www.alandeanfoster.com/version2.0/frameset.htm   ———————————————————————— 🤖 Discord: https://discord.gg/KucPjer 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/swescapepodcast/ 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/SWEscapePodcast 🌐 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/SWEscapePodcast 📲 Swell: https://www.swellcast.com/swescapepodcast 📧 Email us a voicemail message: (Reveal on our channel) 🗃️ Podcast Archives: https://shorturl.at/cktPQ ———————————————————————— Our Friends STAR WARS | ORBITKEY https://www.orbitkey.com/collections/star-wars https://x.com/orbitkey?s=20 https://www.instagram.com/orbitkey/ ALKY SOLUTIONS https://www.youtube.com/@ALKYSolutions https://www.tiktok.com/@alky_solutions https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/ALKYSolutions https://www.instagram.com/alkysolutions https://alkysolutions.com/ Contact ALKY for $10 off your lightsaber when you tell them you're a listener of the podcast!
