Summary: <p>This week’s episode is all about elaborate Padawan training rituals, bonding with monsters through the Force, and surviving being a 15-year-old boy. We. Are. All. About it!</p> <p>“Gathering Forces” takes Ezra and Kanan back to the moon where Sabine and Hera were almost eaten by dragons—and forces Ezra to confront a deep fear. Then, immediately in the next episode, “Path of the Jedi,” he has to confront his EVEN DEEPER fears!!</p> <p>We talk about what our customized Padawan training rites would look like, where Yoda was when he tuned into the goings-on at the Lothal Jedi temple, and why the Kanan/Ezra bonding hits so hard. We also give our best advice for teenage listeners.</p> <p>Tune in next week as we cover “Idiot’s Array” and “Vision of Hope” (Rebels Season 1, episodes 11–12).</p> <p>Want more Growing Up Skywalker?
