Distant Echoes: A Star Wars Podcast

"May I always be at one with the force."
Polygon Pictures is no strangers to Star Wars animation, having worked on both The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Resistance. But how will their first outing in the Visions series fair?
Helping us take on this story of a hot-headed, selfish Jedi padawan in some of the most gorgeous animation and art direction in Volume 3 is Russ Moran from Kaiju ComicCast! Russ isn't just an expert in Kaiju, he's also a massive Star Wars! We talk to Russ about his history with Star Wars, why his favorite character is Emperor Palpatine, what makes a good Star Wars villain, and why the Sith are so damn cool.

"If it wasn't for me, you'd have been frozen in carbonite a long time ago!"
It's Studio Wit's first outing with Star Wars: Visions, and they're taking on one of the most beloved tropes in Star Wars canon: Bounty Hunters. Does their split-personality droid and haunted human companion stack up?
To help us answer that question and talk all about this action-packed episode, we're joined by Chris Osborne from Play Comics & Sugar, Spite, and Everything is Fine! We talked all about the mecha-droideika, the banger of a closing credits song, and even dreamed up dual-personality droids for ourselves!

Welcome to the rebellion...and "It's a Favorite Series, Dude (of Star Wars)" our brand-new and impeccably-named bonus series where we invite guests to gush about their favorite episodes of Star Wars television (and maybe other media down the road). And to help us kick off this new series, we're joined by none other than Patrick Cotnoir, Executive Producer for the ⁠George Lucas Talk Show⁠!
We gushed about this episode with Patrick, discussed how it beautifully bridges two eras of Star Wars, and of course, got a little silly and crowned our first Glup Shitto Watch awardee. Plus, we caught up with Patrick about the I'm "George Lucas": A Connor Ratliff Story Blu-Ray and the upcoming Moof-milkers: An All Star Live Reading of Star Wars Episode 7 - The Force Awakens!

"Will you be my smuggler?"
"The Smuggler" is Studio Trigger's third entry in the Star Wars: Visions pantheon, but will it match up to their Volume 1 entries "The Elder" and "The Twins"?
To tackle the prolific anime studio and action packed episode, we had to call in the big guns. Joining us today are the always hilarious anime experts Nic, Nisho, and Stik from Together We Anime! We chatted with the crew about their history with Star Wars and what makes a "good" anime in their minds.
Then, they helped us find anime connections we wouldn't have found otherwise, break down the surprising voice talent in this episode including Judith Light, and we all scratched our head at the end-scene...proposal?

"This is the best birthday ever!"
Battling "T0-B1" and "Aau's Song" for the title of "Most Adorable Episode of Visions," it's Kinema Citrus's "Yuko's Treasure!"
