A special bonus episode of Star Warsologies is up!

Star Warsologies comes to Comic Con At Home 2021! Thanks to The Fleet Science Center in San Diego for hosting this great panel, The Science of Star Wars. James and Melissa moderate a panel of three scientists (geologist, biologist, and astronomer, oh my!) plus a concept designer who has worked on all five of the recent Star Wars films! Come for the insights into the salt flats of Crait, the mysteries of Kessel, and the scientific method itself, stay for the porg recipes and a discussion of the morality of eating sentient creatures.
