Pod 1977 was a life pod jettisoned from Jedi Master Plo Koon's Venator-class Star Destroyer Triumphant.
History
As Master Plo Koon's fleet neared the Abregado system, General Grievous' mystery weapon, the starship Malevolence, fired its massive ion cannon at Triumphant, removing all the craft's defenses and making it vulnerable to Malevolence's lasers. As Koon's ship was bombarded with laser fire, all of its escape pods were jettisoned, including Pod 1977. Later, as the pod floated through space, it was breached by rocket battle droids from a pod hunter, killing all those inside.
Behind the scenes
This pod was named after the year 1977, when Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope was released.
