Get ready for a wild ride on the latest transmission from the Star Wars Escape Pod! We make a surprise long-distance call straight to the Black Spire outpost to chat with co-host Kirk, who is live from Galaxy's Edge for the very first time. You'll get his fresh take on the park, including a rave review for the Ronto Wrap and a less-than-stellar verdict on the infamous Blue Milk. From there, a massive spoiler alarm and dive deep into the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle video game, revealing the mind-blowing final treasure. The galactic news is just as exciting, covering the record-breaking $3.6 million auction price for Darth Vader's lightsaber, the confirmed return of everyone's favorite pirate Hondo Ohnaka, and a debate on the bizarre new wedge-shaped LEGO Death Star.

To top it all off, we check out the new trailer for the mixed-reality game coming soon, Star Wars: Beyond Victory, where you get to be mentored by none other than Sebulba himself in the ways of Podracing!

This week on the Escape Pod, we're joined by special guest Dr. Steve Ellerhoff to explore the deep psychological and mythological roots of Star Wars, as detailed in his new book, "Jung and Star Wars". We explore how Carl Jung's concepts of archetypes, the unconscious, and synchronicity are woven into the very fabric of the saga—from the nature of the Force and Anakin's tragic nightmares to the hidden symbolism in Luke's Jedi robes and the powerful Dyad between Rey and Kylo. Prepare for another happy landing into the deepest lore of the galaxy! Find Steve! https://www.sgellerhoff.com/
