Lucasfilm Releases First Episode of 'Science and Star Wars' Webseries

By: Dominic Jones

The first episode of Lucasfilm's newest Star Wars webseries debuted on Facebook today.  The series "Science and Star Wars" is hosted by The Star Wars Show host Anthony Carboni and it looks at the connections between real world science and the science fiction of the Star Wars series. In the first episode, Carboni is joined by Taylor Gray (voice of Ezra Bridger on Star Wars Rebels) as they try to make a real world lightsaber.  Check it out below,

Overall, I enjoyed the first episode of "Science and Star Wars," even though I can't say I'm the biggest fan of The Star Wars Show.  I think Carboni is better suited to something like this, and having Gray on board for the first episode was a lot of fun.  The experiment was cool and hearing from the experts was interesting.  However, I wish Lucasfilm didn't release it as a vertical video.  I would much prefer it if Lucasfilm would just release the show on YouTube as a regular, horizontal video.

Video aspect ratios aside, I look forward to checking out the next episode.
