WhoDatJedi Podcast: What was it like experiencing Star Wars for the first time (and why can’t Star Wars recapture that feeling)?

WhoDatJedi is back again! On this podcast, we started an MCU watch marathon with Aaron and had on Aaron’s brother, who spoke to what that magic was like, seeing Star Wars for the first time as a 10-year-old. Oddly enough, these topics merge when talking about “Iron Man,” a movie that has its own kind of magic.

Here are the synopsis and player.

On the 22nd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts — Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) — are joined by another special guest, Aaron’s older brother Brian. He offers a new perspective for the show, specifically what it was like to be a 10-year-old when the first Star Wars movie came out. He discusses that experience and offers his thoughts on the newer material in the saga. The group also talks about Ahsoka’s growing prominence in the universe and debuts a new feature: Aaron finally watches it. For this initial installment, they talk about “Iron Man” … and how the MCU and the Star Wars universe seem to be having varying degrees of success of “capturing the magic.”
