It's another commentary track! On the 48th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- dive into "Solo" with a live, running commentary track of the movie (because everyone loves the people who talk through the whole movie). The guys take a closer look at why it was unfair for the movie to be critiqued as being "unnecessary" upon release, speak to the themes of liberty, subjugation and rebellion -- and what those themes mean for the character of Han Solo in particular -- and address Jonathan Kasdan's 52 surprising "Solo" facts in real time. They also talk about what the movie has in common with "A New Hope," why it was such a breath of fresh air at release, and how our appreciation has grown over time. #MakeSolo2Happen
