Distant Echoes: A Star Wars Podcast

• #92: Andor - Season 1, Episode 5: "The Axe Forgets" (This is TELEVISION, Television)

  Tension mounts as the Aldhani group prepares for the upcoming Imperial heist. This episode gives us so much juicy character development and tons of quotes. The view may forget, but the pod remembers! We're loving the pace of this season so far. It's simmering, tension is building, scenes are breathing, and characters can really show us who they are. Then, in our Outer Rim, we mention some non-fiction books that could be great reads today.

• Bonus Episode: Skeleton Crew Wrap Up (Jude Law and a Semester...in Space!)

  We were so enamored with Skeleton Crew that we had to give you our thoughts, so we're doubling up this Monday with a bonus episode talking all 8 episodes of Skeleton Crew! We give our thoughts on the show, our favorite characters and moments, queer and neurodiverse representation, and where we think the show could go if we get another season.

• #91: Andor - Season 1, Episode 4: "Aldhani" (The Stellan Skarsgård Appreciation Episode)

  Cassian sets off for a new adventure, leaving Ferrix, and his troubles with Pre-Mor, behind. We're introduced to a new cast of characters as we enter the next three-episode arc, including Mon Mothma and Luthen Rael's alter ego. We gush over Stellan Skarsgård and Genevieve O'Reilly's ability to speak in "thieves' cant" and seamlessly go from portraying their characters as confident, high society figures to intense, fearful, and cautious. Then, in our Outer Rim, we talk about David Lynch and how much he and his work have meant to us.

• #90: Andor - Season 1, Episode 3: "Reckoning" (The Maarva Andor Appreciation Episode)

  Everything comes to a head in Andor Season 1, Episode 3 "Reckoning" as Luthen Rael arrives to meet Cassian on Ferrix. We discuss the workers' aiding Cassian 's escape--letting us and the Pre-Mor Authority hear what a reckoning sounds like--Luthen's knowledge of Cassian's past, and the brutal treatment of Maarva and Bix. It's hard to believe this show keeps getting better after this. And for our Outer Rim segment--Tommy's on an anime kick, watching Kaiju No. 8, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Gundam Wing, while Cass is wheeling and dealing in Weather Factory's Book of Hours.

• #89: Andor - Season 1, Episode 2: "That Would Be Me" (Keep the pod sharp by releasing it)

  In our discussion of Episode 2, we explore how the show has become a unique and powerful addition to the Star Wars franchise after just two episodes and how we're trying not to rush through it because we're already obsessed. We delve deeper into how the Empire, through the Pre-Mor Authority, is poised to strengthen it's grip on Ferrix, drawing parallels to the very real corporate authorities that impact people's lives in our own world (*cough* Amazon *cough*). Despite the dark themes that Andor presents, Tommy brings some festive cheer during our Outer Rim segment by discussing his fondness for re-watching A Muppet Christmas Carol!
