The PROS and Conventions of Star Wars
Becca and Devon are back in the Castle to discuss the Pros and Conventions of Star Wars. Yup, you read that correctly. Your hosts will be open and honest about everything and anything going on in Star Wars to Solo: A Star Wars Story moviegoers or lack thereof. In other words, these two moms get down to the nitty-gritty of it all. After all, when in doubt, brazen it out!
Ok, Kids! So, all of the "5 day passes" for Star Wars Celebration Chicago have SOLD OUT! And that's only the half of it. Both Friday and Saturday passes have sold out at as well. Geez, Louise! Well, Kanata's Castle might have to turn to the streets of Chicago instead of inside the convention center. Either way, we'll be talking Star Wars! So, buckle up kids, it may be a bit bumpy.
Next Episode

Kanata's Castle #35: Redeeming Ren?
Ever ask yourself, "is Kylo Ren worthy of redemption?" Ahem, better yet, RENdemption? Well, in this episode of Kanata's Castle, Becca, and Devon get back into the heavy as they discuss whether or not young Solo is redeemable. So, come on! Grab a frothy mug of Luke's favorite green-milk and hit that play button.
Redemption is a continuous theme in Star Wars. But, is that trope getting old? Is it time for something new? After all, the Star Wars stories have evolved with the sequel trilogy, so maybe Kylo Ren is right? It's time to let old things die. Kill the past. To redeem or not to redeem, that is the question.
