Episode 151: Meditation in Real Life and in Star Wars
This week we discuss meditation and it's amazing real life benefits (and how it makes us feel like Jedi). We touch on several forms of meditation, how you can get started if you've never done it before, and the amazing scientifically-backed evidence that it is good for your body and your brain. We also chat about how the Jedi and Sith use meditation to connect with the Force. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/most-things-kenobi/support

Episode 150: Wrapping up the series on "The Anakins" with the voice of Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars: Matt Lanter
What a great way to ring in our 150th episode! We have the pleasure of discussing the talented Matt Lanter and what he has brought to Star Wars' most pivotal character, Anakin Skywalker. He is the voice of Anakin throughout The Clone Wars and beyond, including Lego movies and an abundance of Star Wars video games, and much more. His vocal range is why we appreciate him so much; he's given Anakin Skywalker the depth and lore the character needed, and has done so incredibly graciously. Thank you, Matt Lanter, for bringing Anakin to life through animation! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/most-things-kenobi/support

Episode 149: The Anakins Part 2 - Hayden Christensen's Subtle Brilliance
This week we carry on with our series about the actors who have portrayed Anakin Skywalker.

Episode 148: Beginning our next series on "The Anakins": covering the actors who have portrayed Anakin Skywalker, beginning this week with Jake Lloyd
The first time we ever saw Anakin Skywalker in live action, outside of Darth Vader, was through Jake Lloyd's portrayal of Anakin as a young boy in "The Phantom Menace", which was released in 1999. This young boy, who will go on to become The Chosen One, was delivered by a bright and charismatic Jake Lloyd, who was only 8 years old when George Lucas cast him as the young Anakin. IMPORTANT NOTE: in this episode, we respectfully discuss Jake Lloyd's mental health journey, while also discussing how important mental health is in everyone's life. Please understand that we are not mental health experts, though we do want to emphasize the importance of mental health. We commend Jake for getting help to address his mental health, and wish him nothing but the best going forward. Thank you, Jake, for bringing Young Anakin to life in the Star Wars Universe! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/most-things-kenobi/support

Episode 146: Part 3 of "The Obi-Wan Actors" - James Arnold Taylor brings Obi-Wan to Life through His Amazing Voice Acting in The Clone Wars
This week is Part 3 of our series "The Obi-Wan Actors", and next in line is the voice behind the animated Obi-Wan Kenobi, and also a very dear friend of ours and of the show: James Arnold Taylor. He's the voice behind the animated Obi-Wan Kenobi that Dave Filoni and his team brought to life through The Clone Wars series, and his talent is unmatched. James has portrayed Obi-Wan the longest of all the Obi-Wan actors, and the depth of character he brings season after season, episode after episode, is why he's our favorite Obi-Wan! Thank you James for what you've brought to our favorite character, and for being a friend. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/most-things-kenobi/support

Episode 143: Princess Leia, the "Huttslayer"
"Huttslayer", a relatively new but cannon title for Leia Organa Skywalker, is a title that isn't always discussed - but should be! By writing it into the novel "Bloodline", Claudia Gray effectively gave Leia a title filled with honor and respect. When Leia killed Jabba the Hutt, she not only liberated herself, but also avenged her biological father by killing his slaver. In doing so, she also liberated thousands more, even her own brother, by taking the chain Jabba used on her and killing him with her bare hands. For this reason and SO many more, Leia remains as bad ass as ever, and we honor her by calling her the "Huttslayer." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/most-things-kenobi/support
