who remembers watching this on the history channel?

Just late last year a real crude lightsaber was created. Makes me wonder where we'll be 100 years from now.

I want a updated version of this documentary. After all it's 10 years old.

this documentary is 15 years old. I would love to see the follow-up to see where we're at today. science and tech is so cool!

The puns were relentless in this video.

*_[damn, after the Hacksmith's lightsaber, the force is starting to seem like the only impossible thing in star wars, if even that]_*

The PT vehicles look more practical that the OT ones. The AT-AT always seemed undergunned to me. The AT-TE have the guns I would expect a vehicle of that size to have. It also has 6 legs which makes it more stable in addition to them splaying outwards and being shorter which lowers it's center of gravity.

Seems like the one answer to all these problems is plasma. Ionized gas atoms. Twin ion engines? Plasma Windows in space, or barriers between atmosphere and vacuum? Plasma. Lightsabers? Plasma. Deflector shields? Plasma.

Thanks to george lucus we are able to push science forward for the future of the human race.

My uncle taped this on VHS for me

I love and hate watching these. Love em for the science part. Hate em because most of the tech isn't possible

Anakin's limbs were already cautarized by Kenobi's blade the lava hurt him more than help

The Star Wars galaxy is like the lightyears ahead of us

Whoever edited this is awesome.

Great documentary

Amazing documentaries.

Replicas, Models, Prop Designs, Sketches, Copies, are the best we are going to get from these amazing creative universe imaginations

history channel needs to make a part 2 cuz there's like so much mote tech and ideas in the new films

Much of the technologies in Star Wars is explained in Michio Kaku’s show “Physics of the Impossible.” -Star Wars space fighter: “Destroy the Death Star” -Hyperdrive: “How to Explore the Universe” -Death Star (structure): “A New Solar System” -Darth Vader/cyborg: “Cyborg Army” and “How to Become a Superhero” (according to Kaku, Vader and Grievous would have combat equipment implemented into the cybernetics) -Lightsaber: “How to Build a Lightsaber” -Deflector shield: “How to Build a Force Field” -Death Star (super laser): “How to Blow Up a Planet” -Imperial walkers: “Shapeshifting Transformers” (according to Kaku, those huge walkers wouldn’t just be able to trample over their opponents, but also transform into different vehicles -Droids: “How to Build a Sci-Fi Robot” -Carbonite freezing: “Galactic Colonization” (skip to 13:24) Also, for repulsorlift, magnetic levitation can work on planets like Coruscant if the vehicle is made of a superconducting material (37:11 in “Prophets of Science Fiction George Lucas”)

I really enjoyed this, thank you for sharing. I'm glad the commentators didn't just look down at their noses considering they're talking about movies.

Wau, this documentary is awsome

science never ceases to amaze me!

22:04 he caughs because in the 2003 clone wars cartoon, mace windu crushes his lungs with the force

23:00 - You're welcome. I always return solely for the Lightsaber portion, which is my favorite.

2:03 depends on the position of the listener. If you’re in the fighter who is passing trough the explosion than the sound would be heard cause the explosion itself is a big bal of matter wich touches the metal of the fighter

It's so dense every image has so many things going on

Memories...

If we get to live in the Star Wars galaxy, it'll be so fun to be honest.

很喜歡這部科幻電影

You can say the same thing about Vipers from Battlestar Galactica.

nice

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation ( something new learned not taught at school )

death star gravity. could you have a very dense core? maybe doubling as a nuclear reactor?

I think that in a near future most of the tech in star wars will be real. A whole lot of star wars tech is already real, so why wouldn't more of it be real? In the end maybe all of it, most of it or more than it will be real.

Could you add the option to use subtitles? I don't speak English and it would help a lot, thanks!

"Plasma" GOT IT

I think they should me a 2018 version

This needs an update for 2019 to see if anything has advanced in science.

that dude says that the suit would control his temperature and glucose level. but wouldn't the hypothalamus do that??

4th and can't wait to watch

I can't believe they went through the trouble of explaining tech in Star wars, but don't know about repulsors?!? That's how the starhips and starfighters are turning!!! They're using a gravity manipulating technology like the Landspeeder only in space. The landspeeder has turbine engines since its in atmosphere. This just makes it faster than repulsors alone. The X-wing has turbine engines for when its in atmosphere too. But in space they basically just push it and then the ship's repulsors turn and brake the ship. I hate when sci-fi fans pretend they're Star wars fans. X{D

could tie fighters ionise denser material. I don't know the limit before becomes a plasma drive

The widows could also be made from carbon composite.

Great documentary!!

Don't you think that the ancient peoples knew more about matter properties than we give them credit for? From way back then, they spoke of 'earth, water, air and fire'. That would be 'solid, liquid, gas and plasma' in modern scientific parlance.

Its on the bule ray set.

sometimes they say lightsword and one time they say lightsabre. what is the correct word??

How can you do that I wish I can learn how to do it

All the star wars technology is possible as long we can come together be more Civilized as everyday passes we are getting closer to where we want to be as for light sabers i hope alot sooner than later , like they said thanks to George Lucas he gave us the blue prints to these new technology i believe all of this will be very possible very soon.....

At 20:34 I'm not sure how I feel about that...

If only they had The Legacy Revealed on Blu-ray?

Do spider-man tech please

What is this?

There is a company that is fairly close to cteating an actual light saber ...Nicola tesla creates a death ray for the government it worked had it dismantled ... Electromagnetic

I'll take my land speeder now if you don't mind.

Boba fett on cloud city. I met the actor of Boba Fett Jeremy Bulloch.

Let's just say that for the sake of this, that technology and elements and everything in Star wars universe is completely different from Earth

Guys and gals stop complaining about every bloody single thing in this doc. Its no different than when they do a similar one for the technology seen in Star Trek film & TV shows and applying it to; "what if" it were real questions etc. Be glad something like Star Wars and Star Trek are that influential that they both inspire such documentaries to be made about their fictional stories and adventures. And then wonder about possible real world applications of its fictional and made-up components being realized for real etc.

Are we not gonna talk about the creepily real hand at 20:20?

plasma window? so power fails your blown into the vacuum of space instantly

9:39 8 years later, (cough)(cough)starkiller base)

12:00 now we know the background of that flaw 😁

May the 4th be with you.

They just explained the Starkiller base

Or for the windows now they can use the new see though aluminium

wow a sith lord need to eat :))))))))))

What about cloning

Jeanne Cavelos sounds like an adult, female Milhouse

if lightsabers 2 million degrees it would be *very fucking hot* planets like tatooine and utapau *surpised the jedi didnt die of a heat stroke before the order 66*

The problem that the tech of Star Wars is the same as magic in the Fantasy books, you don't have to understand it how it works. That's why SW is not a Sci-Fi, but a Fantasy in Space movie, that these people seems to not know!

revenge of the nerds in the comment section below

Vader: "Luke, I am your father." Murray Povich: "You are not the father." Vader: "Who the fuck are you?"

*playusma*

Silly filmaker... those windows aren't glass, they're transparisteel.

WHAT! For dramatic effect ?

anaken smi padme obiwan kenobi master windy yoda r2 d2 critipo

Dammit, you're not even trying to understand how lightsabers work. No wonder you can't recreate it without a kyber chrystal. This is basic science, guys.

LOL at 45:39

Transparisteel..its already canon

Today lasers can melt steel at 3,000,000• F

Clone army

Ancient Aliens

This should be called Nerds Ruin Star Wars. This is same reason I stop watching mythbusters. People then get mad at movies and say "well that could never happen".

oh my god its not plasma plasma is to sensitive it has to be a form of chemical emensions together man i got a crazy new theory dang star wars is awesome!

One Star Fighter could destroy the Death Star as we learned in Rough One the flaw was by design. :)

First lol

At ats? Facepalm

Likeable kid? Not really.

Hahahaha this is so idiotic. Apparently Vaders strength comes from his suit... .not the fact he is a fucking sith lord!!! lol

Sounds doesnt require air, it requires a medium
