Summary

Caitlin and Charlotte get into the concept of family in Star Wars: which is more prevalent, blood family or found family? They define family in Star Wars in part one, and talk a bit about the original trilogy, the prequels, Rebels, Clone Wars, and Rogue One. In part 2, they go into the concept of family in Solo: A Star Wars Story — spoilers ahead. In part 3, they talk about the theme of family + found family in the sequel trilogy and where they think it will all end. If “family” is a theme right up there with hope, then how will this factor into the end of the saga, Episode 9? All this and more discussion right here on Skytalkers.    http://www.twitter.com/skytalkerspod http://www.twitter.com/crerrity http://www.twitter.com/caitlinplesher http://skytalkers.com Learn more about your ad choices.
