The Science of Star Wars: An Astrophysicist's Independent Examination of Space Travel, Aliens, Planets, and Robots as Portrayed in the Star Wars Films and Books Paperback – Import, 5 May 2000

El libro es maravilloso, muy divertido y te explica todo “con manzanas”.El gran problema es la impresión, deja mucho que desear. Hay muchas partes que tienen un sombreado gris para resaltar, pero que resulta cansadísimo a la hora de leerlo.

Ich habe dieses Buch für ein Geburtstagsgeschenk gekauft und als ich reingeschaut hatte, war es schon super interessant! Sehr gute Englischkenntnisse sind hier gefragt, aber wer diese hat und an Physik und Star Wars interessiert ist, der wird hier seinen Spaß haben! :)

Though Ms Cavelos' book has been out for quite some time, I still find myself revisiting it a couple times a year. For any fan of Star Wars, this book brings home some of the practical science used in the telling of the SW tales, but also looks ahead to how technology portrayed in the films might become reality in the future. She attemps to explain how light sabers might work, how people ran remain standing on a spaceship no matter which angle of flight it is taking, and, importantly, resolves the Kessel Run "parsec" goof Lucas made in the cantina scene :) If you have an interest in science and science fiction, this book is a must-read. Cavelos deftly and with a considerable helping of good humor, explains how the fictions in SW might have actually worked, and how some, well, would likely remain fiction. In so doing, again, I find that her writing style coupled with her intelligent arguments are discussions I enjoy going back to from time to time. Pick up a copy of this book - you won't be disappointed.

Jeanne Cavelos' The Science of Star Wars looks into the scientific plausibility of elements of the Star Wars Universe. Topics are broken up into a handful or categories such as Planetary Environments, Aliens, Droids, Spaceships and Weapons and The Force...Though there is a great deal of depth to the Science of Star Wars, the language is not too complex - all the better for simpletons like me...

This book was a real joy to read. Any person that has a love for science or the Star Wars franchise and a hunger for learning more about them will love this book. The way Jeanne examines the possibility of our society becoming of that seen in the Star Wars films is fasinating. Those who have not seen any of the Star Wars films will be compelled to go watch them. And those who have lost the love for science or Star Wars films will feel it renewed. This book shows a whole new look into how the aliens of Star Wars came to be. It examines how one day the human race may have colonies on other worlds around the universe, and how we will be able to find the right planets for humans to thrive on. This book is great for people of all ages for the fact that it's very easy to read and is very likely to leave you satisfied and hungry for more. It is also a great book for teachers to apply in their classrooms. This book in no way will keep you bored. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys to read.
