Artificial Intelligence is the topic of this Science & Star Wars, & that's all it is, a topic. I love this show for the experiments it does in the realm of Star Wars. This one was more of a show of where we are in the field of A.I. right now. Don't get me wrong this is very informative, & it did have Anthony Daniels, C-3PO himself. It just seemed to lack the draw of the other episodes. It felt like a science lecture, but that's just the nature of this beast right now. Not to many ways to pull of A.I., & they pretty have been with the co-host for every episode so far. It was cool seeing how it worked, just not as engaging as usual. Still can't wait for more, just a little more hands on next time around. What did y'all think of this one? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Science & Star Wars - Boba Fett?!? Boba Fett?!?
If you've haven't watched an episode of Science & Star Wars yet, this is definitely the one to break that streak. They take on bounty hunter Boba Fett, & this is a must see. Guest Daniel Logan (Boba Fett - Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones) takes a couple shots at one of the closest things they could mock up to Mandalore armor. The attacks take place with an arsenal I wouldn't mind having, a laser pistol & an even more impressive hand held flamethrower. This was awesome, & when I saw the list of characters in the beginning, I realized this could keep going for awhile. I can't wait to see more of these. My only wish is that they created a store, so we could buy some of this cool stuff. Heh, IBM moves away from computers to switch focus to the Star Wars business. That would be one of the best announcements ever. They're proving to be really good at this. Anyway, love to know what y'all think of this awesome video. Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Take A Tour Of The International Space Station With "Science & Star Wars"
No big experiments this time around on Science & Star Wars, but that doesn't stop it from being one of my favorite episodes so far. This time around they're tackling space travel, making a great point that without space travel you have no Star Wars. It's literally in the name. First, they talk about all the advancements in space travel with different fuels & engines. Then comes the real treat, a tour of the International Space Station. I was actually so interested in this episode, I'm probably going to give it another watch after I write this. I'm blown away by all the things going on the ISS. So many advancements in all aspects of life have been made up there. Anyway, another really interesting episode, I hope they still have more up their sleeves. What do y'all think? Of this episode, or the series as a whole? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Science & Star Wars Cover Robotic Limbs!!
This was an awesome episode of Science & Star Wars! Ever since they've been evolving I've been so intrigued by the integration of humans & robotics in prosthetics. I even heard of this Easton LaChappelle kid when he was 14 & made his first prosthetic. I thought he was amazing. After seeing this I want to try out the block thing they try as well. I think this is so intriguing to me as my first thought goes to people who lose limbs, obviously, but then I can't help but start thinking the inevitable direction this will go. Upgrades. I can see people totally using robotics to "better" their performance. A bunch of actual Vaders out there by choice. Muscles never tire, bones that won't break easily, augmented strength, the possibilities will eventually be endless. Won't that be nuts? Anyway, the video. Video was amazing, I hope they keep coming. That could just be me, so what do y'all think about these so far? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Force Powers A Little Harder For "Science & Star Wars"
Here's another Science & Star Wars that doesn't quite hit it's mark. This time we're trying to science force powers, & while the first two experiments are alright, they completely screw the pooch when it comes to getting an object to spring to their hands. I'm surprised they even tried to tackle force powers, as that's the least sciencey thing Star Wars has to offer. I fell like this is one of those ones they need to go back to the drawing board & try to take another stab at. The force controlling with the helmet was neat, but I really think they could think of better than a super-magnet to simulate powers. If not they probably could've just shelved this episode. Then again I could be being to hard on them after all the amazing things I've seen them pull off already. Anyway, check it out, & let me know what you think. Put it in the comments, like, & share.
This Is The Science & Star Wars I've Been Looking For.. Speeders!
But I want a Landspeeder Now!! This is friggin' awesome! Science & Star Wars, I NEED the specs for this thing. I would ride that little cardboard piece of amazingness everywhere. Keep these videos coming. I look forward to these every week. Funny thing is, I wouldn't even care if they took more stabs at things they've already tried when they run out. IBM & Science & Star Wars keep making Star Wars actually happen. Hell, let's build a Star Destroyer! Watch the video, & let me know who's building a Landspeeder.

Second "Science & Star Wars" Tackles Helper Droids
I love this show! IBM's Science & Star Wars second episode features the closest thing to a droid I've ever seen. It can see, understand & respond to commands, & interface with the show's AI co-host to answer questions. Once again they've come closer than I thought they would to bringing the science fiction of Star Wars into the realm of science fact. I can't wait for more of this series to play out just to see how far they push the envelope. What did y'all think though? Will you be in the market for a helper droid in the future? What particularly would you want one for? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
IBM's Trailer Shows My Next Must See With "Science & Star Wars"
The title says it all. I can't wait to see this. Starting next week IBM is sponsoring this mission to turn Star Wars science fiction into science. They're trying to make lightsabers, laserblasters, force powers, hell, they're even going to try to build a landspeeder. Finally, progress. One more step closer to me inevitably owning my own lightsaber one day. I'm thinking landspeeder as well now, but count me in for sure if they manage to whip up a speeder bike. What do y'all think? Are y'all in for this show as well? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
