26: Hoth Takes #26: Anakin Needed A Chaperone

Who’s your favorite Jedi? In this episode, Eric and Haley make their cases for two very different characters — one young and irreverent, one experienced and solemn. What can Ezra Bridger teach us about the Jedi quest for selflessness amid the temptations of family, home, and power? And how much was Mace Windu to blame for the success of Darth Sidious’ plan to corrupt Anakin Skywalker? From Loth-wolves to Sith holocrons to dangerous lightsaber fighting styles, the stories of Ezra and Mace are full of complex, fascinating dilemmas about Jedi identity and purpose, and in this episode, we dive into how they tackle those challenges. Plus: What might be next for Ezra? And if Mace is somehow still alive, what should be next for him?
