Star Wars Mindful Matters, a new digital series on StarWarsKids.com and the Star Wars Kids YouTube channel, teaches lessons inspired by the ways of the Jedi. Hosted by longtime fan-favorite actor Ashley Eckstein (voice of Ahsoka Tano on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and beyond) and produced in collaboration with Citrone 33, episodes cover more thoughtful approaches to mental wellness, including calmness through breathing, connecting with one’s surroundings, and facing fears. Adventure, excitement? A Jedi craves not these things; Star Wars Mindful Matters understands this, and that’s what makes these lessons so special.
The series made its debut on May the 4th — a.k.a. Star Wars Day — of 2022, but its origins stretch back 10 years. Eckstein recalls meeting children during appearances at Star Wars Weekends at Walt Disney
