March 13, 2020 Fun with news: Coronavirus, Kevin Smith, Clone Wars and High Republic
Your WhoDatJedi podcast hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- kick off Episode 18 speaking to Coronavirus and some of its implications (including the impending marathon watches of "The Rise of Skywalker"), as well as a little Kevin Smith (as big a Star Wars fan as any) talk. They then turn their talk toward the first three episodes of Season 7 of "The Clone Wars." Is "the bad batch" a welcome diversion or a more critical piece of the overall story? And where are we headed next? Finally, there's a little High Republic talk for fans of that news. Wash yo hands and enjoy!

They cover those topics and much more!

February 21, 2020 A New Hope: Virtual disaster
Your WhoDatJedi hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- set their sights backward on today's episode (No. 16) to talk about "A New Hope," specifically about what a disaster the film nearly was. Leaning into documentaries such as "Empire of Dreams" -- a must-watch for anyone curious about the making of the original Star Wars, by the way -- they discuss how the film could have looked vastly different, how it would have been received differently if released at another time, and what it actually has in common with the newest Star Wars movie, "The Rise of Skywalker." This is a fun discussion of one of the most influential movies of all time.

February 14, 2020 Fun with rumors: Taika Waititi, 'The Mandalorian' spinoffs, Cassian overdrive, and the return of George Lucas?
On the 15th episode of WhoDatJedi, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- engage in some good old fashioned rumor mongering! Discussion starts with Taika Waititi's comments about potentially directing a Star Wars film, turns toward Bob Iger's statement that Disney is pursuing "The Mandalorian" spinoffs, and finally wraps with reports on the new Cassian Andor series ... including the news that the series is being prioritized over the Obi-Wan series and the unsubstantiated reports that George Lucas is returning to Star Wars as a writer and producer on the Cassian series. What would it actually mean if Lucas returned to his creation in this manner? Bonus on this Valentine's Day: What are the most romantic moments in Star Wars?

February 07, 2020 The Clone Wars: Why (and how) you should watch!
Your WhoDatJedi hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- dedicate their 14th episode to "The Clone Wars," the Star Wars animated series created by George Lucas and helmed by Dave Filoni (he of "The Mandalorian" fame). With a new, final, seventh season set to debut on Disney+ Feb. 21, and with the show having so many tie-ins to other Star Wars material (from "Rise of Skywalker" to "Solo" to "The Mandalorian"), now is a great time to review what's come before. They review their favorite moments and character arcs, offer their recommendations for first-time (and repeat) viewers with a viewing guide (linked below), and then talk about what they're looking forward to the most in season 7. Most importantly, they dispel the inaccuracy that this series is just for kids.

January 24, 2020 The Rise of Skywalker and legacy (and looking ahead to The Mandalorian Season 2)
On the 12th episode of WhoDatJedi, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- begin the show looking ahead to season 2 of "The Mandalorian" and what new characters and plot lines we might expect to see. The conversation then turns to "The Rise of Skywalker" and the script leak of what was the original Episode IX. There's some good and some bad in there, but it also calls to mind a natural question: Does what we eventually got make sense? How does "Rise" connect to the other movies in the trilogy and the saga in whole? And what is the importance of legacy as a theme?
