Episode Synopsis

May 4 is Star Wars Day and May is National Foster Care Month. So it seems to be a perfect time to reflect on one of the most powerful themes in the galaxy far, far away: the importance of chosen, fostered, and blended families.From the Skywalkers to the Ghost crew, Star Wars has always shown us that family isn't just about blood—it's about connection, support, and standing together through the darkest of times.This month on the podcast, we’ll be spotlighting some of these non-traditional families throughout the Star Wars universe.And in honor of Foster Care Month, we're doing something a little different: Instead of asking you to support us with a blue milk or a coffee, we invite you to consider donating to All Our Kids, Inc.—a fantastic nonprofit based right here in Western Massachusetts that supports foster families. Your host is proud to be on the Board of Directors, so your support means the world to us—and to the families they serve.Don't forget to leave a rating or a review and tell your friends to help this podcast reach more people!Be sure to follow us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠YouTubeAnd check out past episodes and find out more about the pod on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
