This week, we celebrate May the 4th and the 40th anniversary of Return of the Jedi by looking back at the rescue of Han Solo from Jabba's palace. Topics include:

• Was it a good plan or more of a 'winging it' situation?
• What went well and what went wrong
• Why didn't Luke use the force in the Rancor pit?
• What if R2-D2 was assigned to Jabba's bathroom instead of his Sail Barge?
• Was this Luke's final trial to becoming a Jedi Knight?

In our Question of the Week, we share your responses on if Ahsoka could/should use the World Between Worlds to go back and kill Palpatine as a baby. In news, we discuss the writer's strike that is now underway and what effects it will have on Star Wars (and the rest of the industry); we also look at the Lindelof script rumors and discuss the feasbility of Taika Waititi starting to shoot his Star Wars film next year. We answer your Maul Bag questions, play another FACPA Answering Machine voicemail and more!

If you are a Star Wars Fan, this podcast is for you.  For a special treat, Mandy indulges in some recounting some of the wisdom and lessons from a galaxy, far, far away and the Star Wars Saga .  Even the scruffiest looking, nerf-herder may feel the force during this discussion.  Join us for "May the 4th Be With You!"

We began our new Lent series Heroes on Ash Wednesday with a look at a virtue that helps us define every virtue: temperance. Also known as self-control, this quality of moderation reminds us that every virtue exists in between excess and deficiency. This also fits because Lent is traditionally a season of extra self-control, with many Christian traditions practicing some sort of fasting.

To look more closely at temperance, we look at Princess Leia Organa from the Star Wars universe. Always in control, whether as a diplomat, general, mom, or princess, Leia is a great cultural touchstone for this practical virtue.

What are you fasting from this season? How will you draw closer to God during Lent? The good news is the virtues are not just something that we do, but gifts that God grows in us by the Holy Spirit.

God did not send Jesus to make us comfortable; God sent Jesus to make us holy.
