Welcome back to Kanata’s Castle! The podcast that’s rated “E” for everyone! Becca and Devon (Red5Mom) are back to tackle the most talked about topic since The Force Awakens: Rey and where does she come from? From plausible origins and character associations, the possibilities seem almost endless. Who is she? And why was she on Jakku? Tune in and find out on episode “Five,” Rey Strikes Back!

So you see, the podcast you seek is not behind you — it is ahead!
Kanata’s Castle is pleased to present, Episode V: Rey Strikes Back!
