About this listen

Explore the physics behind the world of Star Wars, with engaging topics and accessible information that shows how we’re closer than ever before to creating technology from the galaxy far, far away—perfect for every Star Wars fan!

Ever wish you could have your very own lightsaber like Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi? Or that you could fly through space at the speed of light like Han Solo and Poe Dameron?

Well, those ideas aren’t as outlandish as you think.

In The Physics of Star Wars, you’ll explore the mystical power of the Force using quantum mechanics, find out how much energy it would take for the Death Star or Starkiller Base to destroy a planet, and discover how we can potentially create our very own lightsabers. The fantastical world of Star Wars may become a reality!

I really wish people would actually put effort into making an audiobook.

The actual book and narration is fine when it gets going. But having to stop and roboticly read out chapter headers and other details every few minutes highlights how stupid it is to just read a book exactly as written.
Almost 20 minutes of reading out appendix and glossary of names at the end... seriously.

I'm sure the author or an editor could have come up with a more flowing version for the audiobook in a couple of days.

Some good stuff but really not written for audio
