The Empire Strikes Back
The Last Jedi
Season 3 of Rebels.
This is very much a middle chapter, and a great one at that.
On this, the 41st episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts — Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) — talk Dolly Parton, Oktoberfest and “The Mandalorian” before doing a retrospective on Season 3 of “Star Wars Rebels,” the animated series that takes place between Episodes III & IV. The discussion centers on several key episodes that provide a satisfying arc for the season, a path through the Dark Side for Ezra, and a building upon previous seasons. Maul’s interactions with the crew of the Ghost and Obi-Wan(!!!) are of course on center stage, but beyond that, what makes Thrawn such a compelling adversary? How do Sabine’s struggles resonate? What’s the deal with Bendu? And are Chopper and AP-5 the best comedic droid duo in Star Wars? Listen as the group debates.
