WhoDatJedi Podcast

On the 232nd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- are joined by two special guests, friend to the program Sarah Postreich (@fsusarah42.bsky.social‬) and Dave's wife (and fellow friend to the program), Cait Gladow (@nolanolegal.bsky.social‬)! The two join for an in-depth discussion of feminism in "Andor." Certainly, "Andor" understands representation and walks the walk better than maybe any other Star Wars property ever has, but the show also takes steps beyond the Bechdel test to address themes relevant to women's life experiences. The group tackles some of those topics, which characters resonate so well and why, and basically just gush more about a truly great show. Join us!

This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- reconvene for a deeper discussion into "The Acolyte," the latest Star Wars show on Disney+.

Beyond obvious similarities between the two, the group discusses the "Lone Wolf and Cub" inspiration, the rich setting and adult themes at play in Perdition, and also what the movie might hint at for how "The Mandalorian" may end (or may differ in how it ends). Before that, as part of their news roundup, the group takes on the classic George Lucas debate of whether he should or shouldn't release an "original" version of Star Wars.

They then touch on the latest Stars Wars headlines, including The Phantom Menace re-release and Star Wars' own spin on "What If" before focusing in on the latest "The Acolyte" trailer and why this series has some corners of the Internet up in arms (hint: trolls) but also why it looks like a breath of fresh air. The main discussion after that is a review of "Tales of the Empire," the new micro-series that landed last weekend.

Happy Star Wars Podcast Day, everybody! On this, the 186th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- are joined by special guest Kevin Held (@seanorleans) of the Saints Happy Hour Podcast (@SaintsHappyHour) to get in the full spirit of Super Bowl season and hold a great big ridiculous STAR WARS DRAFT. (Hey, when you want to do a draft properly, you bring in the biggest local mock draft podcaster of them all.)

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.
