Revenge of the Sith

WhoDatJedi podcast: Anakin is back … How is this a good thing?

This headline might be misleading, depending on how you read it.

We don’t get negative here. We actually examine how it might be good.

With news breaking that Hayden Christensen has been cast in the new “Ahsoka” show, your WhoDatJedi podcast hosts — Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) — do their best to unpack that and dovetail into a larger discussion on the character of Anakin Skywalker. Regardless of one’s opinion on the character from the prequels, we’ve also seen him in “The Clone Wars,” and partially on the strength of that character’s on-screen story, the group’s consensus is: “Give us more.” So what can we learn about Anakin going forward? And how does he tend to be a good reflection for other characters, and what might that mean for “Ahsoka?” The group goes down a pretty big rabbit hole in this discussion, but they also talk about a big casting rumor for the Cassian Andor series, drop “The Mandalorian” news nuggets, and even give the listeners some puppy time.
