In this episode, Like Father, Like Daughter, Becca, and Devon discuss the evolution and possibilities of General Organa's character in Star Wars: Episode IX. They also go over the final issue of the Darth Vader comic series by Charles Soule and debate the many perceptions flooding the internet.

Recently, Todd Fisher, the brother of the late Carrie Fisher told Good Morning America that there's a lot of minutes of footage (of Carrie as Leia). This news is responsible for the training and creation of this next episode of Kanata's Castle. Ok, while that may seem a tad cliche, it's true, all of it. So hold on to the Force and get ready to pull yourself back in from the blast of this powerful episode, Like Father, Like Daughter: Leia's Return in Episode IX.

The Secret Society of the Naboo Handmaidens, who are they? How does one become part of their sorority? Well, Kanata's Castle is ready to explore this secret coven as they continue their journey of Women in the Galaxy far, far away. But first, Becca, and Devon go-over some Star Wars news starting with, Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures, JAT returning as General Kenobi, and the latest continuity connections from Star Wars Resistance.

In this episode, your hosts continue their endeavor of expounding upon the Women in the Star Wars universe. This time, they take a gander at the secret sorority of the "Queen's Shadows," the handmaidens, through a speculative lens. After all, it is still unclear how they came to be. How does one get elected into such an organization? Or, is it a birthright? So many questions and very little knowledge is up for the taking, but not knowing is half the fun. So, sidle-up to the bar and get yourself a cold one, then settle in for some exploratory conversation on the secret sorority of the Naboo Handmaidens.
