WhoDatJedi Podcast

It's the 111th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- provide a brand new commentary track for "Revenge of the Sith." With the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series right around the corner, it seemed a perfect time to revisit the film that left Old Ben standing on the high ground, underestimating Anakin's power. Are there any new insights to discover in light of the upcoming TV show? The crew discusses the movie's many high and low points in trying to assess how successful George Lucas was in achieving his vision ... and how well the movie holds up today.

Hello there! On the 110th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk about some of the latest news in Star Wars fandom and do a full deep dive into the trailer for the new live action Disney+ series, "Obi-Wan Kenobi." The crew looks at the trailer shot by shot to find Easter eggs and hints about the show, and they discuss some of the news/rumors surrounding the show's evolution. Is it a good thing if the antagonist was changed? What about the tone? And can "Duel of the Fates" do no wrong? Listen for some answers!

Your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- have had a lot of fun joking about the relative unattractiveness of Disney's newest venture, "Galactic Starcruiser," the immersive hotel experience launching in Orlando. On the 109th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, they take a closer look at "Star Wars prison" to give it a fair assessment. Yes, it's pricey. But what do you get for the money? What should you know going in? How does it connect to Galaxy's Edge? And what does the future of this experience look like. The group has some thoughts to share.

For the 108th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- do a full review of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. How, ultimately, should we evaluate the show? Do some of the main themes (family, redemption, rebirth) come through as concisely as they could have? And what would we like to see from the next generation of Star Wars television series? The group speaks to all of that and even makes a little time for some John Williams and other news talk.

On this, the 107th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- are joined by Leslie Holder (@JustLeslieCat), who recently binged virtually all of the Star Wars live-action movies and TV shows over the course of a few weeks. Coming at the series with fresh eyes, the crew discussed the improvement of the sequel trilogy from that viewpoint, the appeal of the ground-level Star Wars that isn't Jedi or politics-heavy, and how violent Star Wars secretly is (and how it gets away with it). Also, apparently Luke Skywalker is terrible? All film takes aside, the group also talked about crafting in Star Wars and Mardi Gras and what goes into all of that. Give us a listen!

On the 106th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- analyze the final (seventh) chapter of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. Not that there was any doubt about any of this, but this is a full-blown space western now, which basically just serves as an excuse to blow things up in a really cool way. The reason this still works is they get the "blow things up in a really cool way" part right. Everyone here is having an enormous amount of fun (except maybe the Pykes), so let's do that as well. Sit back and just enjoy. Kind of a foreign concept for Star Wars fans, we know, but let's do it. And then let's speculate on the future.

Welcome to the 105th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- provide commentary on the sixth chapter of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. This episode brought in a ton of heavy hitters and fan favorites and was a total crowd pleaser. It's not even worth talking about how this all fits into Boba's story anymore. The more pressing questions are: 1. How are they going to end this thing? and 2. How much previous material do fans need to have consumed to even understand what's going on here? Let's dive in!

It's the 104th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- jump into the fifth chapter of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. The big topic, naturally, is how big of a departure this episode ended up being. As a part of telling a story about this particular character, it's really tough to evaluate, because it doesn't do that at all. Taken simply as a piece of Star Wars media, though? It's brilliant. The guys talk about how this is the "Brown Eyed Girl" of the set list, how it gives us better insight into a fan favorite character, appreciate how dripping with prequel-era nostalgia it is, and what it might tell us about the future of "The Mandalorian."

On this, the 103rd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- offer their impressions on the fourth chapter of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. The newest offering provides better insight on the relationship between Boba and his companion Fennec Shand, but beyond that it's mostly a (well executed) thrill ride. Is that enough? Your hosts debate when or if the show might try to take on more, or even if it has to.

For the 102nd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- do a watch and react to the third chapter of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. This episode of the series has drawn some criticism from fans for some of its real-life inspiration, but the WhoDatJedi crew has more concern over the quality of the visuals and effects, which just aren't as consistently good as Star Wars generally produces. Still, there's plenty to like here. The group also talks a little "Spider-Man: No Way Home," Dave's comic book movie rankings, and more.
