Star Wars influences: ’Road to Perdition’

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.
