WhoDatJedi Podcast: What are the best Star Wars references in other movies/TV?

This episode of the WhoDatJedi Podcast focused on all of those (mostly hilarious) references to Star Wars in other movies and TV.

From “Spaceballs” to “Clerks” to “Friends,” we covered a ton of fun ones.

WhoDatJedi Podcast: ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ digital release review and going ‘Solo’

What do “The Rise of Skywalker” and the character of Han Solo have in common? Well, they fit into the theme of self-isolation, that’s what. Folks can now watch “Rise” at home thanks to the digital release (along with all of the behind-the-scenes bonus material), while Solo is synonymous with being … well, solo.

WhoDatJedi Podcast: Fun with news: Coronavirus, Kevin Smith, Clone Wars and High Republic

The shadow of Coronavirus hangs over everything. The silver lining: Many of us may have more time to stream podcasts, which means another episode of WhoDatJedi is here!

We talked about that, the High Republic, Kevin Smith, and the first three episodes of Season 7 of “The Clone Wars.”

WhoDatJedi Podcast: Galaxy’s Edge extravaganza

Whew. Galaxy’s Edge was something else.

On this episode of WhoDatJedi, I wax poetic on the experience.

WhoDatJedi Podcast: A New Hope: Virtual disaster

The original “Star Wars” movie was terrible!

Okay, not really. But almost?

We dive down that rabbit hole this week, looking at how many issues the original film had in production and how it narrowly avoided becoming a complete disaster.

Is there something to be learned from this in regards to criticism of the newer movies in the saga?

WhoDatJedi Podcast: Fun with rumors

There’s always some fresh news to digest in the Star Wars universe.

On this episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, I join my usual co-hosts to talk the Cassian Andor series, Taika Waititi, “The Mandalorian” spinoffs, and even George Lucas.

Your Clone Wars viewing guide!

(Updated: Feb. 7, 2020)

Given the immense popularity of Disney+’s series “The Mandalorian” — a series partially helmed by “Clone Wars” creator Dave Filoni — and further bolstered by the announcement that a new, final season of the award-winning Star Wars animated series “Clone Wars” would debut on Disney+ on Feb. 21, many Star Wars fans are clamoring to either check out older episodes of “Clone Wars” for the first time or revisit the series after a long hiatus. Partially to “connect some dots,” no doubt, but also because it seems like a good time to give the series a(nother) shot.

Still, some have reservations.

“Eh, cartoons…”

“It’s too many episodes.”

“Eh, cartoons…”

While I don’t particularly understand the cartoon critique, I can’t really do anything about it either. I mean, it’s not a series meant for kids. That’s all I can say. If you’ve watched things like “The Simpsons” or “Into the Spider-verse,” you should know going in that this series is more attune to those properties than something aimed at kids. Beyond that, if you want to write it off, that’s your choice.

But on the length issue, I’ve got you covered.

WhoDatJedi Podcast: Star Wars Mardi Gras: Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus

Okay, so this was fun. For this week’s podcast, we got to interview two overlords from the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus, a Mardi Gras parade group in New Orleans that puts on one of the biggest Star Wars-themed parties in the galaxy.

WhoDatJedi Podcast: Looking for Leia and The Rise of Skywalker: Looking for what works

Have you seen “Looking for Leia” yet? If you’re a Star Wars junkie, you probably should.

This is one of the big topics on this week’s episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast. We also do an exercise where we name three things we loved, two things we didn’t like, and one thing that left us with questions from “The Rise of Skywalker.” Each of us reacts to everyone’s “good, bad, and questioning” and it makes for a good discussion.

WhoDatJedi Podcast: The Rise of Skywalker: Lovin’ it and hatin’ it

It’s another WhoDatJedi podcast, and on this week’s show, we take our first stab at “The Rise of Skywalker,” the final chapter in the 9-episode Star Wars Skywalker saga.

This movie no doubt will inspire a great deal of discussion in the coming weeks, but for this episode, we tried to examine the general response of fans — which seems to be highly polarized — and get at why some folks feel so strongly about this movie.
