It's time to celebrate, Star Wars is back in theaters! On the 263rd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- offer their initial thoughts about the newest Star Wars movie, "The Mandalorian and Grogu." The group debates the strong reactions -- both positive and negative -- from parts of the fandom and try to find more of a middle ground. They also get into why the title and marketing for the film are somewhat baffling in retrospect, whether Star Wars is oversaturated and what that means, and how to judge any Star Wars movie a success or not.

It's the 259th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- talk about their favorite non-franchise films. They acknowledge upfront Star Wars' culpability in the current state of Hollywood -- in which everything seems to be a sequel or remake -- before turning their attention to their favorite movies that don't fall into that trap. Whether they're classics from an earlier age that avoided our current sequel-laden landscape, or they're modern greats that somehow navigated avoiding those trappings, here are some of the best movies that don't try to get you to buy the next big thing. They stand on their own merits.
