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...

On the 175th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk Star Wars TV in the wake of the conclusion of "Ahsoka."

Let's try to figure it out! Listen on Podbean, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google...

On this, the 173rd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk about "Ahsoka," specifically "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness." 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? Listen...

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).

This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- take off the gloves for a discussion on the latest "Lando" news (5:32) before getting super gushy over "Ahsoka" Part 5, "Shadow Warrior" (18:15).

It's time for the 170th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk about Part 4, "Fallen Jedi" of "Ahsoka," the newest Star Wars Disney+ series. 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...

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...

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.

It's time for the 164th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- do another live watch of the beloved animated series "Rebels" as they count down toward the release of "Ahsoka."

It's the 163rd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- do something a little different and do a live watch of some Star Wars television. With "Ahsoka" coming to the small screen in August as a kind of "fifth season" of the classic animated series "Rebels," the group decided to do a commentary on the final episodes of "Rebels" Season 4. This week, the guys watched Episodes 9 &...

On the 162nd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- break down the newly released trailer for "Ahsoka" (33:00). It's heavily "Rebels" influenced of course, but what new tidbits about the show can we take from what appeared in the trailer? The group also talks a little "Secret Invasion" (3:25), Emmy nominations for "Andor" and "Obi-Wan Kenobi" and how friggin' well those shows hold up...

This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- take a moment to talk about Star Wars' birthday before jumping into the news headlines. The discussion includes topics such as Captain Rex (19:00), cameo thoughts for "Ahsoka" (22:45), and Galactic Starcruiser shutting down (34:55).

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...

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.

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).

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...
