This is the Way! Doug Defends The Mandalorian

Din Djarin might be one of the coolest characters in Star Wars history…but is he also a criminal? In this episode of Doug Defends, real defense attorney Doug Ridley and producer Billy Business break down the biggest legal issues across all three seasons of The Mandalorian. We’re tackling questions like: Is bounty hunting in Star Wars even legal? Did Din Djarin kidnap Grogu…or rescue him? Who would legally have custody of Grogu? Are the Mandalorians basically a cult?  Did Moff Gideon commit war crimes? Could the New Republic be violating civil liberties too? From bounty contracts and vigilante justice to cloning ethics and custody law, this might be one of the most legally chaotic shows in the Star Wars universe. So… Is Din Djarin a hero? Or should he be in galactic prison?   The Doug Defends Team: Doug Ridley - Host, Defense Attorney at Ridley Defense Billy Business - Co-Host, Producer, Editor Linda Weg - Director of Operations   Music by www.purple-planet.com

Doug Defends Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999)

Did Qui-Gon Jinn actually have the legal right to take Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace…or was it something much worse? In this episode of Doug Defends , a real defense attorney breaks down one of the most overlooked legal questions in Star Wars: whether Qui-Gon’s deal on Tatooine crossed the line into kidnapping, trafficking, or something else entirely. We also dive into the legality of the Trade Federation blockade and whether it would hold up under real-world international law. Was this a heroic rescue…or a serious crime?   The Doug Defends Team: Doug Ridley - Host, Defense Attorney at Ridley Defense Billy Business - Co-Host, Producer, Editor Linda Weg - Director of Operations   Music by www.purple-planet.com

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
