Viewing Notes
This is a solid doc about the “science” of SW. They talk with actual scientists and professors about what is possible and what isn’t possible in the SW universe as it pertains to tech (spaceships, lasers, biomechanics, robotics, etc.). It’s good! And it’s hilarious hearing them talk about how Anakin could have survived to be turned into Vader. Made me laugh listening to them take it so seriously. Interesting that LucasFilm would produce a doc that refutes a lot of the tech & science but also cool that they have no problem spotlighting it here (i.e. in space there’s no sound nor oxygen to produce those fiery explosions). Perhaps bc some of it is obvious?
This was made shortly after the prequel trilogy concluded. It would be neat if they made a follow-up to this after the conclusion of the sequel trilogy addressing all the same things compared to where science and tech is now.
