This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- review the final two arcs (Episodes 7-12) of Season 2 of "Andor." There's plenty to cover, from the Ghorman Massacre, to Cyril's denouement, to some great thrills surrounding two rescue attempts, to Luthen's predictable end ... the end of the series didn't lack for memorable moments. Was it a little cramped though? Let's discuss!

]]> Welcome to the 210th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! On this week's show, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- hit a ton of topics. First off, RIP to an OT legend (10:10), then the group gets into some prequel "making of the sausage" (12:20), to then revisit the issues surrounding SW Outlaws (21:33) and perhaps a future video game cameo in a SW show (30:50). After that, it's some Thunderbolts discussion (36:55), a Disney World retrospective (50:36) and finally the main topic: ranking the Marvel Disney+ TV shows (1:02:06).

Beyond obvious similarities between the two, the group discusses the "Lone Wolf and Cub" inspiration, the rich setting and adult themes at play in Perdition, and also what the movie might hint at for how "The Mandalorian" may end (or may differ in how it ends). Before that, as part of their news roundup, the group takes on the classic George Lucas debate of whether he should or shouldn't release an "original" version of Star Wars.

The group dives into some of the intricacies of what goes into making a movie, waxes poetic on the City of New Orleans and all of its colorful characters, and even to relate it back to Star Wars fandom, the group discusses what we can learn from people's fandoms or passions ... be it for chess or Star Wars or what have you.

]]> For the 178th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- get caught up on the latest in geek/Star Wars news, offering up their takes on the strike coming to an end, including some strong opinions on AI (9:00) and reaction to the affected super hero movie release schedule and promotion (23:25). They also talk about the Kevin Feige-led Star Wars movie apparently being dead (30:45) and then get really fired up over the main event: the proposed Star Wars reboot from Matthew Vaughn (36:53). They finish up talking a bit about a few smaller news items (53:29) and then share what they're thankful for ... just in time for Thanksgiving!

The final film of the original trilogy (TM), this one is a smidge divisive among fans, some of whom adore it wholeheartedly, while others dismiss it for its worst tendencies. The crew digs into some of the particulars and larger decisions made in the movie that ultimately make it a study in George Lucas making his property into a true formula, but doing so in a way that's big, bold, and impression-lasting. Let's give ROTJ its roses ... while also acknowledging its weaknesses.

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.

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.

If those characters are a proxy or extension of Indigenous peoples, it's a fairly important step for Star Wars to offer a better look at their culture and to present them as well formed individuals.

The biggest one of all might have been her suggestion that Lucasfilm is thinking about the return of sequel trilogy characters Rey, Finn and Poe. Can fans expect that to actually happen? Is Kennedy just being savvy? Is it both? Beyond those questions, the crew addresses the latest casting news for "Ahsoka," talks a little about repurposing old material for new properties and once again offers a critical eye toward "Star Wars prison," aka Galactic Starcruiser.

This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- are joined by New Orleans music writer Alex Rawls (@Alex_Rawls), who produces his own podcast, the "Twelve Songs of Christmas," which takes a closer look at unique or interesting takes on traditional Christmas music. This concept of telling the same story over and over again might be familiar to Star Wars fans. So, we talked about some of the complexities of that. What makes a piece of media special? What makes a sequel or cover song worth your time? Does a familiar song or story provide a better canvas for evaluating an artist? And what are some of the best and worst Christmas songs of all time? We covered all of that and absolutely took a look at some of the "geekier" Christmas songs in existence in the process. We also talked some Saints, "Rogue Squadron" delays, Kathleen Kennedy, and Disney+ Day. This show is big ... but it's worth your time.

Your hosts offer some clues as to what we can expect to see from this new show before transitioning to a different topic perfect for voting season: politics in Star Wars. They outline how the politics have always been there from the start, what lessons we can take from the saga (hint: it's more about the act of getting involved rather than the particulars of how), and why a Star Wars without politics would actually be boring.

And what kind of challenges would a group of Clones have in integrating back into society? This is a pretty great discussion, honestly. Check it out!

After nearly 20 years of negative attention, it's hard not to fall into constant negativity with the film (and your hosts DEFINITELY point out some of the problem areas), but there's a ton of good stuff here too. Which scenes work the best? How did the other prequels affect this movie? What were some of the clear influences from other films? What kind of impact did this movie have on future Star Wars projects like 'The Clone Wars' and 'The Bad Batch?' And why might this be the most ambitious of all Star Wars movies?

SWU has a huge following in the Star Wars community ... and with good reason, as the podcast has been running for over a decade now. Ben talks to the group about what went into the development of the website/podcast, how they handle their editorial choices, and how gratifying the experience has been. He also offers up why the "The Clone Wars" series is so important to him, thoughts on the Disney era (movies, TV and books), and some talk on the prequels and how generational and familial Star Wars can be. These stories are meant to connect us, and it's important to remind ourselves of that once in awhile.

For longtime listeners of the show, there should be little surprise that the group condemns hate speech and therefore falls into a stance of supporting Disney's decision to part ways with the actress. But the situation does spark a ton of discussion. When considering tolerance, where does one draw the line, both as a company trying to make money, but also as a consumer trying to do the ethical thing? Is cancel culture a problem, or does it have its place? And does boycotting a show or movie -- for any reason -- even make fundamental sense? Where does idealism take a backseat to practicality?

Firstly, the group shares their favorite Star Wars Christmas memories. They then talk about what happened THIS year. And finally, they discuss what their perfect Star Wars gift for a future Christmas might be. They conclude the episode by revisiting all of the loose threads from "The Mandalorian" they'd like to see addressed in Season 3.

This episode marks a welcome return of recurring characters Cara Dune and Greef Karga on the planet Nevarro (though if you look closer, each character seems to be on slightly different trajectories at the moment). What the chapter was also big on was some deeper cuts for longtime fans (which the group broke down for you) and some teases for future adventures (predictions abound!). Dave Filoni's influence continues to be felt in the way the show continues to fold in other movies, TV, books and video games, but also in the way he seems to have taken on the role of "caretaker" of Star Wars -- and the group also discusses that.

What are the strengths of the show? Why should people watch? Why are these characters so compelling? Are there good reasons to revisit it if you've already watched?

]]> On this, the 19th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- get in the spirit of being at home in isolation by going "Solo," taking a closer look at everyone's favorite scoundrel. What are their favorite Han moments, what did they think of how his story was wrapped up, and is there hope for future Solo stories? Aaron also reviews "The Rise of Skywalker" home digital release, Dave waxes poetic on Daniel Jose' Older's Solo-inspired novel, "Last Shot," and everyone participates in an expanded game of trivia.

And should it even have happened? They do a deep dive on sabers, but they also get into the Mandalorian's development as a character and his new change of direction (what the episode is really all about). "This is the way."

This episode is called "The Reckoning," and it's aptly named, as the Mando finally confronts his pursuers while continuing to make mistakes that resonate. The gang talks about those mistakes, gives more background on this "Lone Wolf and Cub" thing they keep referencing, dives into "force healing" as a concept, does a little Star Wars trivia, and also offers first impressions of "Rise of Skywalker."

Also, inspired by back-to-back episodes directed by women (a first for Star Wars), they dive into questions of gender/appearance.
