Welcome back to Kanata’s Castle! The hiatus is over! Becca and Devon are back to chat about everything Star Wars. And boy, do they have something special prepared for all of you. Episode 13 is the prelude to their Pathway to Star Wars: The Last Jedi series! So, sit back with an ice-cold glass of blue milk and enjoy the journey.
In Star Wars, characters come and go. But some, some leave a lasting impression on us. And those few are the ones that not only enhance the characters around them but the story as well. Characters like Ahsoka Tano, the padawan that lived.
Who she is and what she believes and then add that with her unorthodox training by her former master, Anakin Skywalker, makes her into one powerful Force user. And though she is no Jedi, the Force flows through her. Powerful. Spiritually pure, matching the white beams of light that illuminate her lightsabers. Brave and compassionate and a Force to be reckoned with, Ahsoka Tano has inspired us all.
