About this episode

The hosts discuss the reactions to the new Star Wars movie 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' and explore various aspects of the film and its marketing.

It's time to celebrate, Star Wars is back in theaters! On the 263rd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- offer their initial thoughts about the newest Star Wars movie, "The Mandalorian and Grogu." The group debates the strong reactions -- both positive and negative -- from parts of the fandom and try to find more of a middle ground. They also get into why the title and marketing for the film are somewhat baffling in retrospect, whether Star Wars is oversaturated and what that means, and how to judge any Star Wars movie a success or not.
