How might lightsabers work in real life, and how close are we to having them? Did Jango Fett make sound in space possible? And could Han's line about doing the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs have been an actual fact - not a mistake by Lucas, and not a retconned explanation of Han testing Ben and Luke? These are the topics I'll be discussing with Patrick Johnson, Georgetown University physics professor and author of the new book The Physics of Star Wars. Punch it!
