In the Star Wars saga, there is a popular series called The Mandalorian. You are most likely familiar with the character "Baby Yoda," but that is a different lesson. "Mando," as he is called, is a strong all-business character operating with simple principles that honor his culture. Those core intentions help him to succeed in both his and his people's mission. Whenever a valuable core intention is spoken, The Mandalorian will always reply confidently with the phrase, "This is the way."
