WhoDatJedi Podcast

Welcome to the 121st episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) --  re-watch and discuss the fourth episode of "Obi-Wan Kenobi," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. The fourth chapter of the show involved a daring rescue aboard an Imperial installation, with Jedi hero Obi-Wan Kenobi sneaking about to ultimately save the day and rescue Princess Leia and ... wait a minute. This is all sounding a little familiar. But familiar can be good! Listen to the group discuss why.

Welcome to the 120th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- revisit the third episode of "Obi-Wan Kenobi," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. Looming large this week, quite literally, is the image of Darth Vader, the ultimate villain of the original trilogy. The group talks about the imposing horror his appearance here engenders, but also about Obi-Wan himself, and why it makes sense for him to be in such miserable states. Can he rally himself out of this? He sure better!

Specifically, the group run downs all of the major new releases coming up that were previewed at Star Wars Celebration. They then talk about the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi and try to step back and assess why the show (already) has its critics. They finally wrap the conversation by addressing the Moses Ingram cyber bullying (and get fired up doing so). Buckle up for an eventful conversation!

On this, the 118th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- react to the huge Star Wars article and photo spread that dropped from Vanity Fair this week, providing point-by-point analysis of all of the major highlights. From a much-needed "Andor" update, to a full-on preview of "Obi-Wan," to an insightful look back at the genesis of Star Wars television, to some juicy nuggets on future projects, this article had a little bit of everything. And while the group addresses Kathleen Kennedy's controversial comments on "Solo," there's also plenty more here to digest. Let's talk about the future of Star Wars!

It's the 117th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- put on the boxing gloves for EW's list of "The Top 100 Star Wars Characters Ever," a divisive and controversial ranking if ever there was one. Ultimately, these rankings and debates are all in good fun and the group attacks the list in that spirit, dissecting some of the more bizarre selections for inclusion and/or elevation and/or omission. But also listen as the group continuously gets taken aback by the rankings they hear, culminating in the most controversial choice of all melting their collective brains.

May the Fourth be with you! On the 116th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- preview Star Wars Celebration, the premiere Star Wars convention set to take place later this month (May 26-29). Aaron speaks a little to what the event typically looks like for anyone going for the first time, the crew breaks down why EVERY fan of Star Wars should pay attention from afar (trailers, previews and fun interviews!), but then the group really dives down into the event schedule to pinpoint their picks for most interesting panels and what some of the overall discussion might mean for the future of the franchise.

For the 115th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- provide their thoughts on the latest DC offering, debating where "The Batman" should rank within the context of other Batman movies, and why everyone should even bother watching at this point given how many of these movies there are (we promise there are good reasons!). They also muse over all the different actors to appear in this series (including who might have done it best) and dive into the latest Star Wars headlines.

On this, the 113th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- offer their initial impressions of the newest Star Wars video game, "Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga." The game gives fans more of the same kinds of things they are used to, but it also presents a few new wrinkles too. The crew also tackles the latest news and headlines, including the latest fire nugget dropped by "Star Wars' crazy uncle." "Visions" and "Clone Wars" fans have reason to rejoice. "Mando" fans ... maybe?

Yes, blasphemy. On the 112th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- attempt to recast Star Wars because they like to see the world burn. Actually, it ends up being a fun exercise with some interesting names floated about, even though everyone was in agreement that no, don't do that for real, ever. They also discussed the launch of "Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga," talked about the recent debut of "Moon Knight," and offered reaction to some of the latest Star Wars TV news. Come and join us on the "dark side."
