How to Find a Mentor

Everyone wants a mentor, the wise little green creature who will teach us how to swing a lightsaber and use the Force. We crave that guiding hand, the cryptic wisdom spoken in riddles, the long training montages where we finally learn to lift rocks with our minds. It's part of the mythos we’ve all internalized: the hero's journey doesn't start until someone older, weirder, and significantly more cryptic gives us a push in the right... read more ›
