Science And Star Wars: A New 10 Episode Series

Science And Star Wars, a new series of 10 episodes from Disney Digital Network and Lucasfilm, created in partnership with IBM, will look at the relationship between real-world science and Star Wars technology. Each episode will see host Anthony Carboni (seen weekly on The Star Wars Show) investigate a specific topic (for example, helper droids like Artoo), and discuss the technology with IBM researchers and scientists. Carboni will also collaborate in the lab with special guests (ranging from former astronauts to Star Wars celebrities, like Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Star Wars Battlefront‘s Janina Gavankar (Iden Versio), Star Wars Rebels‘ Taylor Gray (Ezra Bridger), and prequel-era Boba Fett Daniel Logan) trying to bring that Star Wars tech to life, or at least a close approximation
