We've finally arrived at the end and, goodness, do we hate that it's over. We've said it so many times, but this is a very special show. We discuss the satisfying end to so many of the series and so many character journeys—Luthen, Kleya, Cass, Bix, Vel, Dedra—even Partigaz.

Plus, we spend time on some of the lighter moments in this arc, which are necessary and beautiful in their own right. (We love Granny Faiza!)

Cass, just trying to live his life with Bix on Yavin IV, is marked as a “messenger” by a mysterious Force Healer; soon after, he and Wil return to Ghorman to target Dedra Meero. The Ghorman people are kettled into the town square by Imperial Forces, which quickly turns into the Ghorman Massacre - a heartbreaking event we found impossible not to connect to current events in Gaza. And, last but not least, Mon publicly denounces Palpatine and flees Coruscant with Cass’s help, cementing her - and his - role as a Rebel leader.

This penultimate arc is as heavy as it is beautiful. Get the Kleenex ready.

The Ghorman story really takes flight in this arc as the Empire, through Dedra and Syril, tug on the strands of the Ghorlectipod web they've woven behind the scenes.

Cass and Bix try to get settled in Coruscant, Kleya and Luthen have to clean up a mess they made, Saw teaches Wilmon to huff rhydo, and Vel and Cinta reunite briefly.

We talk about it all.

And the Teletubbies. (We promise it makes sense...kind of.)

Now that the dust has settled on Season 2 of Andor, what better time to start a rewatch with us as we kick off our coverage of the second season of the critically acclaimed series.

The first arc of the season begins with a bang. So much action as we begin one year from the finale of season 1. We've got grand theft auto, a wedding, and the Empire coming after the Ferrix survivors and plotting something sinister for Ghorman.

CW: We discuss a depiction of sexual assault and violence in that occurs in the third episode of Andor.

If you or anyone you know is facing sexual violence, please know help is available.

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!

You can buy live-stream and in-person tickets RIGHT NOW to join us in person on May the 4th, 2025 for May the Fierce Be With You: A Galactic Drag Brunch to benefit He, She, Ze, and We right here: ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/4jUau1f⁠⁠.

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!
