The Mandalorian and Grogu brings Star Wars back to the big screen! In this episode of the Jedi Squadron Podcast, we review the new movie and break down Din Djarin and Grogu's latest adventure.

We discuss the story, characters, Easter eggs, Rotta the Hutt, Embo, the future of the Mandoverse, and one of the biggest developments in the film — Grogu is finally growing up. Is this the beginning of a much bigger future for Grogu in Star Wars?

The first Ahsoka Season 2 trailer is here, and the Jedi Squadron is breaking it all down!

We react to the new trailer and dive into Thrawn's return, Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker, the mysterious lightsaber-wielding character, Dathomir and the Nightsisters, massive New Republic vs. Imperial space battles, and the growing connections to Heir to the Empire.

We also discuss where Luke Skywalker fits into this era, Anakin's relationship with Ahsoka, the possibility of more Clone Wars flashbacks, and characters we'd love to see return — including Rex and Kanan Jarrus.

Ahsoka Season 2 is set to premiere January 20, 2027, and we'll be covering every episode here on the Jedi Squadron Podcast.

Maul’s story just hit a whole new level.

In Episodes 7–8 of Maul: Shadow Lord, we finally see the full weight of his trauma, his past with Palpatine, and the emotional breaking point that changes everything. From intense Inquisitor fights to powerful flashbacks, this might be the darkest and most impactful Maul story we’ve ever gotten.

In this Jedi Squadron Podcast episode, we break down Star Wars: Maul Shadow Lord Episodes 3 & 4—and this is where the series takes a serious turn. From intense lightsaber duels to deeper character themes, Maul’s story is evolving in ways we didn’t expect.

Episode 3 dives into Maul’s attempt to tempt Devon to the dark side, echoing classic Star Wars moments while adding a darker psychological layer. Episode 4 raises the stakes even higher with major conflict, betrayal, and the Empire closing in.

This is the point where Maul Shadow Lord goes from good… to something much deeper.

If you enjoyed Clone Wars or Rebels, this might be one of the most interesting directions we’ve seen for Maul yet.
