It's the 156th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- attempt to answer that all-important, age-old question: Who are your favorite droids? (They also get into the weeds a little on Jazz Fest as well as the subject of recasting vs. digital recreation, particularly as it relates to the Big 3.) But mostly, this week is about the droids. The hosts name their top 3, discuss what makes those characters so appealing, and talk about the honorable mentions. Let's give those guys (and gals) their due!

Welcome to the 155th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk some "May the Fourth," the latest headlines in Star Wars, and a little "Return of the Jedi" before getting into the topic of the week, a full review of "The Mandalorian" Season 3. A lot of folks are unhappy with the new direction of the series, but independent of personal tastes and preference, can we get a decent idea of whether the creators of the show achieved what they set out to do? How effective were they at telling this particular story? And where are we with the show in general?

On this, the 154th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- do a little talk on "The Acolyte" and the challenge of trying to make it fit into our preexisting ideas on Star Wars (8:30) before tackling the recent backlash to "The Marvels" trailer (18:24). Naturally the trolls have come out to play on this one, but what are the points in this project's favor? And why is it important in a much broader sense? Oh yeah, and "The Mandalorian" just wrapped up Season 3! Hear the group's thoughts on the ending we just got (42:01).

For the 153rd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- take a couple of minutes to talk about "The Mandalorian," but then dedicate the majority of the show to reaction to all of the major film and TV announcements from Star Wars Celebration 2023. Not just one movie was announced, but three. The group talks about the differences between those projects, including the likelihood of release order (and of them even happening at all). And of course, they also dive into all of the TV, the concept of a "shared" Mando-verse, and Kathleen Kennedy's public comments following the major announcements.

On the 152nd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- tackle Chapter 22 of "The Mandalorian," "Guns for Hire." There have been one or two major announcements made at Star Wars Celebration since we recorded (ahem), but this episode is still worth a good discussion. Does "Guns for Hire" deviate too far from this series' narrative roots? Where is the show headed in a more general sense? And do so many cameos hurt or help the viewers' enjoyment? Let's dive in!

It's the 151st episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- take on the wealth of Star Wars content we received this week in a super-sized show, reviewing the season final of "The Bad Batch" (starting at 18:06) as well as the latest installment of "The Mandalorian," Chapter 21 titled "The Pirate" (starting at 1:03:55). As you can probably tell from those time markers, the group goes deeply into the weeds on Bad Batch, reflecting on the emotional story we've seen and speculating on where the show may take us in Season 3. The Mando discussion addresses the big cameo this week, how far into "Blazing Saddles" territory we've ventured, and some big-picture ideas on story direction. The group even squeezes in some time for Celebration speculation (7:55).

We've reached the 150th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- discuss Chapters 19 & 20 of Season 3 of "The Mandalorian." The two latest episodes in the series provide further depth to the culture of the titular character and show us the push and pull between faith and dogma, particularly as it relates to the character of Bo-Katan. How does her journey resemble the one embarked on by Dr. Pershing? What's really going on under those helmets? And is Din by now fully ready for the title of "Dad?" We've got thoughts!

Welcome to the 149th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- switch gears to discuss "Bad Batch," the animated Clone Wars-inspired Disney+ show that has trended towards genuine excellence of late. It's been a journey getting to this point, but we're now seeing intrigue surrounding the clones and cloning experimentation, a broader emotional journey for our main crew, and just truly fascinating stuff surrounding the character of Crosshair.

On the 148th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- speak briefly on the merits of Bad Batch (it's gotten really good recently, folks) and talk about all of the Star Wars movie cancellations (boo!) before giving most of the show over to second chapter of Season 3 of "The Mandalorian." It's the long-teased and imaginative return to Mandalore, our first live-action look at the planet. Appropriately, this episode is big on world building. But it's also big on myth building. The group addresses each of those points in detail.

It's very much a "set things up" kind of episode, but there's a lot there to discuss, not the least of which being the sudden jump in timeline from the end of Season 2. In addition to that talk, Dave offers his thoughts on his trip to Pensacon. Join us for a fun discussion!

For the 146th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- celebrate Star Wars Podcast Day by tackling a special topic and question. Specifically, the crew asks what part of Star Wars would you delete forever? Each member of the podcast offers a response, a rationale behind it, and then a path forward for how the saga can improve itself in the wake of its "surgery." What parts of Star Wars are we killing off forever? Listen to find out!

Welcome to the 144th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- get into some "Mandalorian" discussion after the reveal of the Season 3's directors as well as the debut of a fresh trailer. After some more news talk, the group switches it up and debates more "Bad Batch." Where last week's episode might have seemed underwhelming, there might have been a little more at play there than first thought...

The group starts with some local discussion of Jazz Fest and Mardi Gras and what makes New Orleans special, Aaron reviews his experience at Fan Expo New Orleans (and Dave speaks about why he didn't go), Fredo reveals the latest news, and then the group reacts to the most recent episode of "The Bad Batch."

Morrell shares which stories and heroes are important to him personally, why it can be a beneficial thing to stay true to yourself and your nerdy roots, the intersection of politics and pop culture, why Mardi Gras seems to be such a mess in regards to parade routes, and perhaps most importantly of all, which council member should we trust with a lightsaber?

There's a lot to love about the final episode, from how it pays off previous events, to the themes on display, to all of the little technical things. One of the bigger things to think about is how Cassian impacts the folks around him ... and vice versa. The group drills down into all of that, talks about the how this series fits into the larger universe, and speculates on the future of these characters and this story.
