WhoDatJedi Podcast: Celebration is canceled, Jedi Temple Challenge is launched, and Gallery continues

We dove into some news on this week’s show, but we also took the time to talk about the latest episodes of the current Star Wars shows airing … “Gallery” and “Jedi Temple Challenge.”

WhoDatJedi Podcast: Rebels Season 1 and Star Wars crossovers: Is this the way?

We go episode-by-episode to talk about Star Wars Rebels Season 1 this week, and we also talk a bit about crossovers. Are they smart, shameless, or some combination of both?

WhoDatJedi Podcast: Our big Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) show!

We went off-script a little here and went MCU-themed instead of Star Wars, mostly in response to Aaron watching all of the movies.

We ranked, we talked about the merits of the whole affair, and we basically just geeked out for awhile.

Good times.

WhoDatJedi Podcast: Why you should be watching ‘Star Wars Rebels’ (no spoilers)

It’s back to back weeks of gushing over the Star Wars we love, as this week’s episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast is dedicated to “Rebels,” a show each of us adores. And for folks who haven’t watched it yet (or at least watched it in its entirety), don’t worry … we stay away from spoilers.

This is why you should watch!

WhoDatJedi Podcast: Live movie discussion: ‘The Empire Strikes Back’

“The Empire Strikes Back” is 40 years old.

That is incredible. And to celebrate, we recorded a live commentary track of the movie for this week’s edition of the WhoDatJedi podcast!

WhoDatJedi Podcast: In defense of the Star Wars Expanded Universe

On this week’s WhoDatJedi podcast, we decided to give voice to the fans who were devoted to the old Star Wars expanded universe (meaning the old material such as books that are no longer part of “official” canon), as not everyone has fully embraced the new Disney era content. It made for a really interesting conversation (and our special guest certainly helped with that!).

WhoDatJedi Podcast: An emotional ending to The Clone Wars

Oof.

That was a rough ending (in a good way … by this, I mean it was emotional). The end of Clone Wars means we had much to discuss on this week’s show.

WhoDatJedi Podcast: The wild world of Star Wars Lego collecting

The world of Star Wars Lego collecting is probably a bit wilder than you might expect (at least it was for me). We get into that and a whole lot more on this week’s episode.

WhoDatJedi Podcast: The best musical moments in Star Wars

This is a fun episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast as we discuss what we feel are the best musical moments of Star Wars.

There’s a LOT to choose from, but we did a good job (including alternates) of distilling things down to some of the most epic moments, methinks.

Let us know what you think!

All the Turbografx-16 Mini games ranked

Here’s where I crack my knuckles, take a deep breath, and get to work: I’m going to rank all of the games on the Turbografx-16 Mini (and give you a few thoughts on the system itself), and while this is without a doubt a silly undertaking, I am after all, a silly man.

If you have no clue what I’m talking about, let me catch you up! The Turbografx-16 Mini is the latest and greatest* retro micro-console to hit the video game market. These “mini” consoles are basically plug-and-play versions of classic gaming systems from the past pre-loaded with a set number of games and designed to work with modern televisions. This particular one is over 50 games, some of which are NOTORIOUSLY (all caps) difficult/expensive to acquire.

* Yes, it’s the best of the mini consoles, and by a substantial margin.

My nostalgia for the original system is well documented. And the good news is the new mini-system lives up to basically all expectations. Yes, it’s niche. Yes, it has some (okay, several) clunkers. But it gets into levels of greatness and insanity most systems stay away from at all costs.

Hey Nintendo, release 60 percent of your games in Japanese, you cowards.
