It's the 117th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- put on the boxing gloves for EW's list of "The Top 100 Star Wars Characters Ever," a divisive and controversial ranking if ever there was one. Ultimately, these rankings and debates are all in good fun and the group attacks the list in that spirit, dissecting some of the more bizarre selections for inclusion and/or elevation and/or omission. But also listen as the group continuously gets taken aback by the rankings they hear, culminating in the most controversial choice of all melting their collective brains.

May the Fourth be with you! On the 116th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- preview Star Wars Celebration, the premiere Star Wars convention set to take place later this month (May 26-29). Aaron speaks a little to what the event typically looks like for anyone going for the first time, the crew breaks down why EVERY fan of Star Wars should pay attention from afar (trailers, previews and fun interviews!), but then the group really dives down into the event schedule to pinpoint their picks for most interesting panels and what some of the overall discussion might mean for the future of the franchise.

For the 115th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- provide their thoughts on the latest DC offering, debating where "The Batman" should rank within the context of other Batman movies, and why everyone should even bother watching at this point given how many of these movies there are (we promise there are good reasons!). They also muse over all the different actors to appear in this series (including who might have done it best) and dive into the latest Star Wars headlines.

Welcome to the 114th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- take a look around at the latest Star Wars news and the phenomenon of seemingly having to study up for most new movies and shows. That discussion extends to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), what with all the new shows and promotional materials for the new Dr. Strange and Thor movies heating up. Should anyone ever feel like they HAVE to engage in something to enjoy something else more? Let's dive in!

On this, the 113th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- offer their initial impressions of the newest Star Wars video game, "Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga." The game gives fans more of the same kinds of things they are used to, but it also presents a few new wrinkles too. The crew also tackles the latest news and headlines, including the latest fire nugget dropped by "Star Wars' crazy uncle." "Visions" and "Clone Wars" fans have reason to rejoice. "Mando" fans ... maybe?

Yes, blasphemy. On the 112th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- attempt to recast Star Wars because they like to see the world burn. Actually, it ends up being a fun exercise with some interesting names floated about, even though everyone was in agreement that no, don't do that for real, ever. They also discussed the launch of "Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga," talked about the recent debut of "Moon Knight," and offered reaction to some of the latest Star Wars TV news. Come and join us on the "dark side."

It's the 111th 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 "Revenge of the Sith." With the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series right around the corner, it seemed a perfect time to revisit the film that left Old Ben standing on the high ground, underestimating Anakin's power. Are there any new insights to discover in light of the upcoming TV show? The crew discusses the movie's many high and low points in trying to assess how successful George Lucas was in achieving his vision ... and how well the movie holds up today.

Hello there! On the 110th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk about some of the latest news in Star Wars fandom and do a full deep dive into the trailer for the new live action Disney+ series, "Obi-Wan Kenobi." The crew looks at the trailer shot by shot to find Easter eggs and hints about the show, and they discuss some of the news/rumors surrounding the show's evolution. Is it a good thing if the antagonist was changed? What about the tone? And can "Duel of the Fates" do no wrong? Listen for some answers!

Your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- have had a lot of fun joking about the relative unattractiveness of Disney's newest venture, "Galactic Starcruiser," the immersive hotel experience launching in Orlando. On the 109th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, they take a closer look at "Star Wars prison" to give it a fair assessment. Yes, it's pricey. But what do you get for the money? What should you know going in? How does it connect to Galaxy's Edge? And what does the future of this experience look like. The group has some thoughts to share.

For the 108th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- do a full review of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. How, ultimately, should we evaluate the show? Do some of the main themes (family, redemption, rebirth) come through as concisely as they could have? And what would we like to see from the next generation of Star Wars television series? The group speaks to all of that and even makes a little time for some John Williams and other news talk.

On this, the 107th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- are joined by Leslie Holder (@JustLeslieCat), who recently binged virtually all of the Star Wars live-action movies and TV shows over the course of a few weeks. Coming at the series with fresh eyes, the crew discussed the improvement of the sequel trilogy from that viewpoint, the appeal of the ground-level Star Wars that isn't Jedi or politics-heavy, and how violent Star Wars secretly is (and how it gets away with it). Also, apparently Luke Skywalker is terrible? All film takes aside, the group also talked about crafting in Star Wars and Mardi Gras and what goes into all of that. Give us a listen!

On the 106th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- analyze the final (seventh) chapter of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. Not that there was any doubt about any of this, but this is a full-blown space western now, which basically just serves as an excuse to blow things up in a really cool way. The reason this still works is they get the "blow things up in a really cool way" part right. Everyone here is having an enormous amount of fun (except maybe the Pykes), so let's do that as well. Sit back and just enjoy. Kind of a foreign concept for Star Wars fans, we know, but let's do it. And then let's speculate on the future.

Welcome to the 105th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- provide commentary on the sixth chapter of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. This episode brought in a ton of heavy hitters and fan favorites and was a total crowd pleaser. It's not even worth talking about how this all fits into Boba's story anymore. The more pressing questions are: 1. How are they going to end this thing? and 2. How much previous material do fans need to have consumed to even understand what's going on here? Let's dive in!

It's the 104th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- jump into the fifth chapter of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. The big topic, naturally, is how big of a departure this episode ended up being. As a part of telling a story about this particular character, it's really tough to evaluate, because it doesn't do that at all. Taken simply as a piece of Star Wars media, though? It's brilliant. The guys talk about how this is the "Brown Eyed Girl" of the set list, how it gives us better insight into a fan favorite character, appreciate how dripping with prequel-era nostalgia it is, and what it might tell us about the future of "The Mandalorian."

On this, the 103rd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- offer their impressions on the fourth chapter of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. The newest offering provides better insight on the relationship between Boba and his companion Fennec Shand, but beyond that it's mostly a (well executed) thrill ride. Is that enough? Your hosts debate when or if the show might try to take on more, or even if it has to.

For the 102nd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- do a watch and react to the third chapter of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. This episode of the series has drawn some criticism from fans for some of its real-life inspiration, but the WhoDatJedi crew has more concern over the quality of the visuals and effects, which just aren't as consistently good as Star Wars generally produces. Still, there's plenty to like here. The group also talks a little "Spider-Man: No Way Home," Dave's comic book movie rankings, and more.

On the 101st episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- take a deeper dive into the second chapter of "The Book of Boba Fett," the live action spinoff series to "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. Beyond addressing some of the deeper cuts on display, the crew spends a lot of time looking at the different perspectives fans have been getting in this series, specifically as it relates to the Tusken Raiders. If those characters are a proxy or extension of Indigenous peoples, it's a fairly important step for Star Wars to offer a better look at their culture and to present them as well formed individuals. Also, how does all of this ultimately inform Boba's character? Are we truly seeing him turn over a new leaf, or is the matter a little grayer than we might think?

The crew sits down and offers a commentary track (for those so inclined) but mostly just talks about what the episode does well (and what it doesn't). How has the title character changed? What lessons on leadership have we and the main character learned? And what are initial impressions of the show itself? Let's dive in!
