'The Bad Batch,' the military, and what we can learn from both

from WhoDatJedi Podcast · host whodatjedi

Welcome to the 78th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast! This week, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- welcome back special guest Ryan Clark of the 501st to talk about "The Bad Batch" and its relationship to the military. As a veteran of the Navy and Marines, Ryan helps the group dive into some of the nuance of military life and how on-target (or off-target) some of the depictions here are. What kind of implications does the phrase "Good soldiers follow orders" entail? How could a relationship between Jedi and Clones already be strained? And what kind of challenges would a group of Clones have in integrating back into society? This is a pretty great discussion, honestly. Check it out!
