It might be National Mental Health Month, but it’s also Star Wars Day! In celebration of both holidays, Lucasfilm has launched Star Wars Mindful Matters, a new series of shorts on the Star Wars Kids website.

Hosted by Ashley Eckstein — the voice of Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels — this series brings mindful lessons to kids and fans of all ages in a digestible way. The series is a collaboration among Eckstein, Citrone 33, and Lucasfilm. It aims to bring mindfulness to the forefront of kids’ minds by focusing on lessons that fan-favorite Star Wars characters and stories have taught us all over the years.

In each video, Eckstein leads one Star Wars-inspired mindful exercise to teach viewers that it only takes a moment to make a difference in your day. The videos are clinically based, with evidence-informed, educational resources provided by On Our Sleeves, the Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s movement for kids’ mental health.

The first two videos are now available on starwarskids.com, with more releasing soon. Happy Star Wars Day
