WhoDatJedi podcast: Star Wars and evacuations

We all had to evacuate New Orleans recently, so this episode of our podcast got a little more personal than normal.

On the 88th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts — Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) — talk about their recent experiences in evacuating from Hurricane Ida, and relate those stories back to Star Wars. What was it like to have to abandon home and friends and an entire life in the interest of safety? Do the lessons taken from those experiences apply to our enjoyment of fiction like Star Wars (or vice versa)? And how can empathy help us all?
