Writing over at the aromatic Coffee With Kenobi Becca Benjamin takes a look at some of the most vital and fateful relationships in the saga, those between mothers and their children.
And, so, here I am. Going over, and over, and over it again. And yet, the more I allow myself to immerse my mind in these poetic words, I’m consistently drawn to mothers, and motherhood. After all, as children we look up to them. Like stars, they shine above us, and if we are to look upon them, we must first look up. But it’s not just the action of looking up, we, as children, look to our parents for influence, for guidance. They are our first teachers, our first role models, and the ones we want to emulate. And, such was the case for our child protagonists, Jyn Erso and Anakin Skywalker.
