Distant Echoes: A Star Wars Podcast

What's this?! A BONUS episode?! That's right, we're back a little early to bring you an interview with the wonderful Star Wars and Disney cosplayer - and host of Batuu Bound Podacst - Casey Shae! We talk all about Casey's experience cosplaying at Disney - the highs and lows - AND get Casey's advice for our upcoming foray into Star Wars Cosplay. Be sure to Follow Casey on Instag...

The boys are back in town...for one final ride. The bittersweet, three-episode premiere pulled no punches, and we absolutely loved every second of it. "Confined," "Paths Unknown," and "Shadow of Tantiss" gave us some of the darkest, and most somber episodes of the entire series. We don't know where this season will take us, but you know we're along for the rid...

It's time to wrap up our "Clone Wars: Origins" mini-series with Part 2 of Genndy Tartakovsky's breathtaking "Clone Wars" series from 2003. And to do so, we had to bring back our pal, Derek Gayle! We Be sure to follow and listen to Derek everywhere, including the brand new GlitterJaw Miniseries Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge: A Simpsons Gaming Podcast , which he ho...

Our journey back to the beginning is almost complete! In this, the penultimate episode of our coverage of "The Clone Wars: Origins," we're taking on the MASTERPIECE that is Genndy Tartakovsky's "Clone Wars" series from 2003. And to help us, we brought along our good pal, the host with the most (podcasts!), and Clone Wars mega fan, Derek Gayle! Seriously, this episode wa...

It's time. We HAVE to go back. So we're going on a quick journey to talk about the ORIGINS of Star Wars' Clone Wars (in animation). Part 1 is an indepth discussion of the 2008 blockbuster (?) film Star Wars: The Clone Wars with our pal, host of Are You My Mother? and Co-Host of Gimmicks pod, David Arnold! The movie...might not have aged the best, but we had a blast talking about it and...

We're ringing in the new year by reminiscing about our time at Galaxy's Edge (and the rest of Disney World) AND completely embarrassing ourselves at Star Wars trivia! Thanks once again to Victor for hosting! Be sure to check out his friend Caitlin's feminist horror Podcast "Plug It Up": https://linktr.ee/plugituppod . And if you want to follow along with the trivial questions...

We took a break from our first love, the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, to see what the newest holiday special stacks up (sorry). This cute, Lego filled adventure taught us so much about the meaning behind master and apprentice languages, and took really strange choices, like not letting Threepio speak until the end? While not perfect, the special is great fun, and we hope you'll have a blast...

We asked YOU to ask US some questions, and you certainly did! We had a blast answering your questions about Star Wars, our favorite video games, TTRPGs, and more! HUGE thank you to everyone who submitted questions! ______________________________________ Twitter: @DistantEchoesSW Instagram:  @DistantEchoesSW Follow Cassie on Twitter @Cassiethulu and Tommy @AwkwardComma .

Continuing our end-of-the-year detour IGNORING every Star Wars TV series ever made, we got together with our good pal and Daddy of DnD (to us, at least), Harrison, to make character sheets for some of our favorite Star Wars characters! ...in other words we got loopy and talked DnD for 2 hours. ______________________________________ Twitter: @DistantEchoesSW Instagram:  @DistantEchoesSW Follow Cass...

Let's groove! We made playlists for some of our favorite Star Wars characters!

Ready to get SCARY!? On this very special episode, we're talking all things Darth Maul, everyone's favorite Sith Lord turned crazed spider-mech, turned agent of chaos. We're also diving into NIGHTSISTER lore - canon, legends, and everything in between. (Looking at you, Charal!) Come celebrate Mauloween with us! *We said Episode 56 in this episode, but it's actually 55. That doesn&#...

Ahsoka may be over, but we're not over Ahsoka. We're breaking down the final two episodes - "Dreams and Madness" and "The Jedi, the Witch, and The Warlord." We're talking Star Wars canon, Star Wars Legends, the Abeloth (whatever the hell that is) and so much more. Can they announce season 2 already!? ______________________________________ Twitter: @DistantEchoesSW I...

Ahsoka continues to impress us with episodes 5 and 6. "Shadow Warrior" was an experience unlike anything we've seen in live-action Star Wars TV to date. And "Far, Far Away" gave us some of the moments we've been waiting for - the return of Thrawn and Ezra - and then some. ______________________________________ Twitter: @DistantEchoesSW Instagram:  @DistantEchoesSW .

Wow. What can you say about these two episodes except...well everything we say in this hour-long episode! More Sabine training, more of Ahsoka learning to be a Jedi Master, and more heartbreak. Are you ready for Episode 5? Cause we aren't! Be sure to follow us on Twitter @DistantEchoesSW or Instagram  @DistantEchoesSW . Plus you can send us questions to DistantEchoesSW@gmail.com.

Celebrate with us as we break down the two part Season 2 finale of Star Wars Rebels - "Twilight of the Apprentice" AND discuss Season 4's "The World Between Worlds" as we prep for Ahsoka's release in just one week! **MAJOR spoilers for Star Wars Rebels, if you have...

Happy whatever day you're listening to this episode; we hope you're ready to be extremely sad and relive (in our opinion) some of the best Star Wars media, period. That's right. We're doing it. We're covering the 4-part series finale of The Clone Wars—"Old Friends Not Forgotten," "Phantom Apprentice," "Shattered," and "Victory and Death."...

We proclaim this...the summer of 'Soka! To lead into the upcoming premiere of the Ahsoka series, we're diving into some of our FAVORITE Ahsoka Tano moments from The Clone Wars (and maybe a little Star Wars Rebels.) Up first, Season 5 episodes 17-20, "Sabotage," "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much" "To Catch a Jedi" and "The Wrong Jedi." Be sure to follow us...

We've reached the end of our journey covering Visions Volume 2 and boy did we pick a doozy to go out on. We're joined by the endlessly creative and talented Stik Braxton to discuss Episode 7 "The Bandits of Golak" and Episode 8 "The Pit." We also talk to Stik about some of his creative endeavors, including his incredible collection of poems inspired by his (and our) fav...

Whoa that's a long timestamp! But don't worry, there's a LOT to discuss because this week, we were graced by the presences of an absolute television EXPERT -- host of Gimmicks podcast, Walloping Websnappers, and Falling with Style, and one of our absolute BEST buds in the entire galaxy Derek B.

Doug and Katie from the Novel Gaming Podcast stopped by talk about Studio Aardman's ("Wallace and Gromit," "Chicken Run," etc.) "I Am Your Mother" and Studio Mir's ("The Legend of Korra," "Lookism") "Journey to the Dark Head." Two very different, but equall...

We're joined for a second time by our good friend Harrison to break down Episodes 2 & 3 of Star Wars Visions Season 2. Cartoon Saloon brings Celtic folklore and Irish history to a galaxy far far away with "Screecher's Reach." Then, we discuss PunkRobot's "In the Stars," a gripping and emotional tale about two sisters, the last of their people, and their fight ag...

We're BACK! And more importantly, Star Wars Visions is back with Volume 2! We're kicking things off by discussing the absolutely delightful "Sith" by El Guiri Studios. Written and directed by Rodrigo Blaas (Trollhunters, Ozi - Voice of the Forest), "Sith" explores the Force and confronting your past through passion, painting, and abstract art. In a word, it's wonder...

That's it! We've arrived at the end of our journey as we revisit Star Wars: Visions Season 1. First, we discuss Episode 9, Akakiri which ended up at the TOP of both of our rankings. We loved every second of this episode, from the animation, to the music, to Kamahachi and Senshuu. And speaking of rankings, we both pick our top 3 favorite episodes and talk about the series overall. It's safe to...

We're nearing the end of our journey as we revisit Star Wars Visions Season 1! This week, it's the penultimate episode of the series: Episode 8 - Lop & Ochō! While the episode had it's merits, we ultimately felt like it fell a bit short of some of the other gems the series gave us.
