EPISODE 26 - "FAN FILMS STRIKE BACK"

We know on our last show, Tom and I said we would only be doing Escape Pods till the end of the year, but on a last minute whim, well, we changed our minds. So here is Episode 26: "Fan Films Strike Back."

For this show, our main review will be on two fan films. If you follow us on our Facebook page, then you already know that we are doing the two listed below. Hopefully, you got a chance to watch them, if not, then click on the links below to be redirected over to Youtube and check them out.

In the gaming news segment, I mentioned about THE OLD REPUBLIC, well you can use the link on our sidebar to head over there.

Also in our small news segment, I promised you pictures of the Hallmark Christmas Ornaments. Reminder that there is no link on this image. You can head to your nearest Hallmark Gold Crown Stores to pick one, or all, of these up.

Lastly, Tom told you about the new novel coming out by Joe Schreiber, Red Harvest. This is going to be a prequel to last year's Death Troopers novel. Below are links to chapter excerpts.

Chapter 3: http://starwars.com/media/general/StarWars_RedHarvest_Chap3.pdf
Chapter 4: http://starwars.com/media/general/StarWars_RedHarvest_Chap4.pdf

So that's it for this episode. We also made a big announcement, but you will need to listen to the show for that. We hope you enjoy this show, and be looking for our next episode on December 28th. Hmm? Why does that date sound important? I'm sure it will come to me, and you, once you listen to this show.

So as always, May the Force be with you!

EPISODE 25 - "WE COULDN'T THINK OF A TITLE"

Hey there EU fans. Tom and I are back with a full show, Episode 25: "We Couldn't Think of  a Title." On this show we have all of our standard segments and we review the trade paperback, RITE OF PASSAGE.

During our email segment, one of our listeners brings up "The Jedi Path" book, which neither Tom or I have yet purchased, but below is a link for you to check it out.

We also mention how a major character from the EU will be joining the animated Clone Wars TV show, to the left is what he will look like. Let's hope George doesn't mess up this character we have all come to love.





Here are the books and comics Tom will talk about. Some are out, and the rest, on their way. Also, with the "Lost Tribe of the Sith" PDF, check the Sidebar on our site for the direct link for the download.

Now for gaming news, there was a lot released for the MMO, so head on over to THE OLD REPUBLIC news section for the latest updates. Below are some direct links for two videos and the timeline entry for Exar Kun, which is really cool. And if you listen to our complete show, you might want to watch all three.

Also in gaming news, I give my thoughts and impressions on THE FORCE UNLEASHED II. This comic strip I found on the XBOX 360 Facebook page, says it all.











Well, that's all we have for Episode 25. Be on the lookout for some Escape Pods coming out between now and the end of the year. We will not be having a "standard" show until sometime in January. However the Escape Pods we are planning will have some news, reviews, and hopefully some special guests. And if you have an idea of a fan film you would like reviewed, let us know.

May the Force be with you!
