We've reached the end of Season 1 of Andor, and what a journey it's been. At the start of our coverage, we talked about the competing mythos in Star Wars - the mystical and singularly heroic, and those that reflect our own histories, highlighting antifascist movements and collective action. And, boy, did the finale really hit that message home. Listen to hear us gush about the ending and the season as a whole.

And, we announced our next episode, we're doing something special to celebrate our 100 episodes -- you get to ask us ANYTHING! Submit your questions in the comments on Spotify, tag us on Bluesky or Instagram, or email us at distantechoessw@gmail.com!

Finally, May the Fierce Be With You: A Galactic Drag Brunch to benefit He, She, Ze, and We is just under two weeks away! Pick up your live-stream and in-person tickets here : ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/4jUau1f⁠⁠.

The penultimate episode of Season 1 does not disappoint (not that we expected it to!). Cassian and Melchi make it off Narkina 5 with the help of some amazing freaks. Meanwhile, the situation on Ferrix takes a depressing turn. We talk the impact of Maarva's death, recite a poem to our boy Syril, unpack Leida's trad turn, and give this episode the affirming grunts it deserves.

Plus, it's officially CELEBRATION WEEK Punky Muffins! We give our predictions on what we'll see at the convention (spoiler: We were already wrong about one of our guesses!) Make sure you're following us on Bluesky, Instagram, and TikTok where we'll be bringing you all the 'sclusies, panels info, food reviews, and anything else we feel like featuring!

Is "One Way Out" the best episode of Star Wars television ever? We discuss everything that makes this episode great, including standout performances from Stellan Skarsgård and Andy Serkis, their incredible monologues, the message this episode teaches us about collective action, and so much more.

Plus, as we continue to inch closer and closer to Star Wars Celebration Japan, we break down some of the merch we've seen that we're excited about. An R2-D2 Tamogatchi? They Tamogat US with that one!

Today marks the FIRST episode of our weekly run for the month of April as we prep for Season 2 of Andor and Star Wars Celebration! And to kick things off, we discuss the second episode of the Narkina prison arc! Bix endures horrific torture while Cass adjusts to live in prison before learning a terrible truth -- the Empire has no plans to let anyone out. We give our condolences to Ulaf (RIP) and scream the lyrics to Linkin Park because NOBODY'S LISTENING!

With the rebels making "an announcement" with the Aldhani heist, the empire begins tightening their fist. We discuss the fallout from the last arc as our players move into position to begin the next one. Maarva, Luthen, and Mon Mothma are all standouts in this episode that, honestly, caught us by surprise!

The Aldhani rebels reach a point of no return...because they're heading out for their mission! We react to to the finale of the Aldhani heist arc, how the episode subverted our expectations (in the best way possible) every step of the way, and what ripples we think the ending will have on the remainder of the season. This show is so good!

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.
