For the 185th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- react to the trailer drop for "The Bad Batch" Season 3, offering their theories on what might be in store for viewers during the show's final run. They then take on their main topic of the day as they discuss the 1995 video game "Dark Forces," which is set to be remastered and re-released Feb. 28. Dave had a recent playthrough of the nearly 30-year old game, and he had lots of reactions, including how important the game is in a historical context in relation to other video games, how well it holds up today (a very mixed bag), but also how impactful it continues to be in Star Wars lore in relation to its Dark Troopers and horror elements. This week is all about soldier experimentation, baby!

On the 183rd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- are joined by special returning guest Aryanna Gamble of the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus to preview this year's parade and talk all things Chewbacchus. For the uninitiated, this wide-ranging discussion on Mardi Gras, New Orleans, and of the specific parade that Chewbacchus carries out should serve as a nice primer. But even for veterans of the parade, the group goes behind the scenes to talk about what goes into the parade and gives you all the details on what to expect this year. Mark your calendars for Jan. 20, and listen in to learn more!

To kick off the new year, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- dive into the latest "woke" Star Wars nonsense controversy (15:54) as part of their news roundup before previewing Star Wars television for 2024 (48:50). We've allegedly got four series on deck for this year, but no release dates. When can we expect to see each of the shows drop? What will they look like? And which one are we looking forward to the most?

On this, the 180th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk a little music to kick things off before talking Saturn award nominations, 2024 Disney+ release schedules, Disney park changes, and even the potential return of Padme to Star Wars before settling into the main topic, an in-depth discussion of "The Marvels" (40:12). Despite some bad word of mouth, mediocre reviews and a poor box office take ... all of us liked it. So what's going on here? The group dives into the movie's strengths (and weaknesses) and addresses why the larger discussion has been so negative.

They also find time to congratulate Dave Filoni for his latest promotion (while debating how that move itself may affect things) before picking over some of HIS comments from a recent interview. Finally, the group talks "Loki" and why it might be the best Marvel TV show.

It's time for the 177th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- provide a brand new commentary track for "Return of the Jedi." 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.

Happy Halloween! On the 176th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- get into the spirit of the season and put together an exhaustive retrospective on the spookiest moments in Star Wars. What scared us as kids? What creeps us out as adults? And should Luke kissing Leia make the list? (Maybe?) Listen to the gang get nostalgic and list their favorite unsettling moments, and tell us if any of your favorites didn't make the discussion.

Obviously, the group is curious about a Season 2 for this particular show, but they also look big picture at the state of Star Wars television. What are the tea leaves suggesting about the future?

Does this episode work as well as previous episodes? The group talks about why (or why not). They cover the major happenings, and towards the end, Dave tries his best to come up with an overarching theme for the series ... and his theory isn't terrible?

For the 172nd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- kick things off with a little Saints banter and a discussion on Hayden Christensen's star rising (9:43) before jumping into "Ahsoka," this time discussing Part 6, "A Long Time Ago" (15:13). The type of story intrigues the group from the start (thanks to an opening featuring storytelling as a motif), but then, there's so much more to cover here in general, from the appropriateness of the major character introductions (yay!), to some predictions on where things might be headed.

The overall quality of the series is addressed, but they also dive into what makes this episode in particular so special. Dave calls it a "gift to 'Rebels' and 'Clone Wars' fans." How so? Listen in!

This episode is big on the "wow" moments, especially later on, but there's actually quite a bit here to discuss overall. Character performance is actually a big point of discussion this week, partly due to the big events occurring. How are we to interpret things? Look to what the actors are showing us. Let's dive in!

On the 169th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- dissect Part 3, "Time to Fly" of "Ahsoka," the newest Star Wars Disney+ series. The title is apt, as we get a ton of space battle hijinks this week, but also we are seeing the development of Sabine as she begins to "take off" as a Padawan. But also, the series has by now itself hit a clear standard of quality. The entire production screams big budget, which combined with the storytelling talent of Dave Filoni, makes for an exciting combo.

How well does the new series work for new viewers? And how well does it live up to previous iterations of some fan favorites? The group offers their thoughts on the first two episodes and offer up some theories and history that might prove illuminating.

Watch along (or just listen along) as the crew waxes poetic on what a great series Rebels was and what insights it might provide as Dave Filoni's new series officially gets off the ground.

Welcome to the 166th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- take a break from their Rebels rewatch to do a deep dive into Galactic Starcruiser with special guest Steven Rosenthal. Steven recently took part in the experience at Disney World and was willing to come on the show and speak to its merits. Scheduled to close at the end of September, the group gets into the nitty gritty of what the experience is really like, and why, despite Aaron's jokes about Star Wars prison, it might be a shame it's closing.
