Ever wonder what Fathers, the Force, and Unca Wando all have in common? Well, find out in this next episode of Kanata’s Castle. Becca and Devon are back for a Forceful chat on all things Star Wars. Including a bit of cape envy and some First Order enlisted pants too. Ok, maybe that’s a bit extra, but the girls are back in full Force, and they’re ready to dig deep into some Star Wars Lore!
Ok, kids, it’s no secret that Star Wars is full of Daddy issues and it seems to be a continuous pattern or theme throughout the saga.

That’s right, the “Whills,” you read that correctly. Better hang on to your butts, these ladies are about to unleash the heavy.
