On this, the 28th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- celebrate the 40th anniversary of "The Empire Strikes Back" with a live, running commentary track of the movie (because everyone loves the people who talk through the whole movie). They really try to tackle the question of why Gen X in particular has such an affinity for this movie, how it succeeds (and even how it sometimes fails), what its impact and relation to the rest of the series is, and how it reads differently to an adult vs. a child. Sync up with the movie or listen without ... but either way, enjoy!
