I worked with the Lucasfilm Story Group to make sure that the lessons from Star Wars were accurate and truly based in the Star Wars story. Each episode of Star Wars Mindful Matters is a lesson that we learn in Star Wars paired with a clinically based mindfulness exercise or lesson. Luke Skywalker teaches Rey that confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Jedi Master Yoda teaches us that a Jedi must have the deepest commitment the most serious mind. We learned from the Star Wars story that training your mind is just as important as physically training your body. The number one questions from kids was how they could be a Jedi, just like Ahsoka. I started doing Star Wars Weekends at the Parks and would do autograph signings every day and meet a ton of kids.
