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.
