Buckle in for another Star Wars commentary track from yours truly, this time for “Rogue One.”
It’s another commentary track! On the 42nd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts — Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) — dig into “Rogue One” with a live, running commentary track of the movie (because everyone loves the people who talk through the whole movie). They look at why the movie is so beloved by longtime fans, quibble over some of the details (it’s not quite perfect), and speak to the larger themes at play. In what is truly the first Star WAR movie, the symbolism is rich throughout, as are the bigger picture ideas like sacrifice, the impact of a conflict on innocents, losing one’s humanity, and more. Sync up with the movie or listen without … but either way, enjoy!
