I am looking forward to this series so much! I know a lot of the lady saints included in the LCMS commemorations, but not many beyond that. The illustration/example with Ahsoka Tano & Rey is perfect - my boys are in a Star Wars phase, too. :)
And I LOVE this: "[the Christian saints ] really did live a long time ago and far far away. More than that, in Christ, they live still and await with us the resurrection of the dead and the New Jerusalem lit by the Lamb once slain. The object of their faith is the one true Triune God, whose grace frees us for works of service to neighbor."

Interesting! Looking forward to learning more.
