On the 198th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- dive into "The Mandalorian" lore by looking at the film "Road to Perdition." Beyond obvious similarities between the two, the group discusses the "Lone Wolf and Cub" inspiration, the rich setting and adult themes at play in Perdition, and also what the movie might hint at for how "The Mandalorian" may end (or may differ in how it ends). Before that, as part of their news roundup, the group takes on the classic George Lucas debate of whether he should or shouldn't release an "original" version of Star Wars.

It's time for the 197th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk about X-Men '97 as part of a bigger discussion on sequels, reboots and remakes, a never-ending topic of discussion given what Hollywood tends to churn out these days! What is the magic formula for finding the essence of an IP yet creating something wholly new with it? Does the new X-Men series achieve this? How? Let's really get into the weeds here.

On the 196th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- kick things off by talking about the Star Wars Holiday Special (!?!). They then touch on the latest Stars Wars headlines, including The Phantom Menace re-release and Star Wars' own spin on "What If" before focusing in on the latest "The Acolyte" trailer and why this series has some corners of the Internet up in arms (hint: trolls) but also why it looks like a breath of fresh air. The main discussion after that is a review of "Tales of the Empire," the new micro-series that landed last weekend. One tiny spoiler about our discussion: It's good when Star Wars can still surprise us.
