EPISODE 59: WHAT THE HELL ARE THE WHILLS IN STAR WARS?

We did not know what we were getting into when we decided to do an episode on The Whills. The more we researched, the less we seemed to grasp the concept. The Whills are, in essence, The Force in Star Wars. But it’s so much more complicated than just an energy that surrounds us. We’re talking about the thing that binds the galaxy together. Midi-chlorians, Jedha City, The Grand Experiment, Anakin Skywalker, The Journal of the Whills, the guardians of the Whills, the disciples of the Whills, Force ghosts, shamans, priestesses…welcome to one of the craziest rabbit holes in all of Star Wars! Join us as we try to make sense of George Lucas’ building blocks for a galaxy far, far away.
