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...

For the 143rd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- get into the weeds of a variety of topics. 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." The idea of isolation looms large here. Join us!

On the 142nd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- discuss the debut of the second season of "The Bad Batch," the Clone Wars-inspired animated series on Disney+. The show has gotten into some questions of duty vs. honor, the implications of cloning on the larger universe, and a fair bit more ... but the series' return felt a little muted in some ways. Where do we go from here?

It's the 140th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- are joined by special guest JP Morrell (@JPMorrell), current vice president of the New Orleans city council, former state senator, ... and fellow nerd culture enthusiast! 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?

On this, the 139th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk about the latest news -- from "Acolyte" nuggets, to "The Mandalorian" season 3 debut, to the "Bad Batch" trailer -- before hitting their main topic for the show, a review of "Tales of the Jedi," the recent animated anthology series that debuted on Disney+. Is the format of the show a good one for Star Wars content going forward? Which of the character arcs worked better? And how do these stories tie into what's come before? Give a listen!

For the 138th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- discuss the finale of "Andor," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. 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.

Welcome to the 137th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk about episodes 10 & 11 of "Andor," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. The group wonders what the special significance of all the water imagery might be, speak about character growth (pretty much seen in everyone save Cyril), discuss Cassian's leadership qualities and how they're not typical, and talk about Luthen's ability to cut at the heart of what makes the Empire what it is ... and what makes it vulnerable.

On the 136th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- dive into the ninth episode of "Andor," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. This episode continues its critiques of prisons, of fascism, of massive institutions, and what the human cost of those mechanisms can be. It's not a new story, but it's an important one. Do you think anyone is listening?

Most presently given recent events in the show, the group talks about power and class, and just how good a job this show does of reflecting our society's ills back at us.

On this, the 134th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- gush over "Andor," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. Specifically, the group examines the most recent episode (6), talks about what the show is doing right (basically everything) and why its audience hasn't been super big yet (people are weird). Anyway, it's time to give the series some more love.

It's the 133rd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- tackle the fourth and fifth episodes of "Andor," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. This show has been a departure from most Star Wars stories with a more adult-like sensibility. The group talks about how that is, and how one even defines such a thing. They also get into the POV of individual characters providing motivation for future actions, the trueness of the military story, and a messed up family that isn't the Skywalkers.

This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- discuss the first, second, and third episodes of "Andor," the newest live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. The discussion centers on the aspects of the show that make it very much a part of the established universe, the parts of the show that make it very much a drastic departure, and the themes of the show that make it very much an important story to tell.

The group gets you caught up on the history of the characters, where you should go to if you'd like to do any homework (beyond "Rogue One" of course), what we can possibly expect from the series, and what we can figure out from the trailers and footage we've seen. Let's get ready for "Andor!"

For the 130th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- take a journey back through the history of Star Wars trailers. How have they evolved over time? How have they become more (and less) important during different eras? How critical a piece are they in the overall marketing effort? And which ones have been the most (and least) effective, and what do they share in common with other movie trailers? Let's talk trailers!

Some of their picks might seems a little on the nose, but others may come out of left field. What do you think? Did they make good picks? What would you have chosen?

It's the 128th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- dive into a couple of Stars Wars lists that recently dropped and also talk about "Andor" and "Rogue One," though mostly just to gush over them. As for the lists, the crew compares notes on non-Star Wars appearances of lightsabers (some of which you can definitely guess) before diving into the meat of the episode: what scenes "ruined" Star Wars for fans. Obviously, they take issue with the term "ruin" at the outset, but they also look closer at the scenes that made the top ten and offer up suggestions of their own. Do you have a scene that kills Star Wars for you? Let us hear about it!

The group covers all the main points, such as how groundbreaking the film was, what the creative influences were, and just how successful the movie remains today at what it sets out to do. They also talk about how the movie reads differently now in the wake of all of the other content that has come along in the ensuing years ... particularly the new "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series. May the Force be with you!

The group advocates for certain projects, explains some of the source material behind all of this new stuff, and they even touch on a little Star Wars news, which was sadly mostly missing from the list of announcements.

This week's show is all about learning about Star Wars antagonism from audiences, examining the history of it, the commonalities from era to era, and what might cause the majority of it. You might be surprised at some of the history here, and how deep it goes. "Gooooood. I can feel your anger."
