In this episode of Kanata’s Castle, Becca and Devon celebrate Valentine’s Day by taking a closer look at Love and how that theme varies throughout the Skywalker Saga. Your hosts go over the main couples from each trilogy and discuss which category of Love fits their relationship best. But first, they chitchat about the latest in Star Wars News.
“Because she saw your spirit. Your heart. Rey, some things are stronger than blood. Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny.” When Luke says this to Rey, so much that had been left unsaid, is now revealed. Our eyes and hearts are opened wide. Finally, someone else, other than Anakin, is following their heart instead of their head, and it’s being praised, not reprimanded. After all, Love is central to a Jedi’s life, and they should be encouraged to love.
