“The Science of Ahsoka” at Los Angeles Comic Con!

Star Wars was a formative experience for me. Since 1977, my mind and heart has been in a galaxy far, far away. I played with lightsabers as a child and wrote my doctoral dissertation to John Williams’ amazing music. If you’d told me then I would still have new Star Wars characters to love at my current age, I wouldn’t have believed you.

How lucky I am, because Ahsoka Tano and the Star Wars: Rebels family have become some of my favorite fictional characters of all time.

(And Rebels is the best of all Star Wars. You may disagree, but you are wrong. *ahem*)

So, imagine how excited I was to watch the Ahsoka series. In addition to continuing the stories of beloved characters, the series introduced new characters, new creatures, new planets, and a new galaxy! With those introductions come new questions: How do the Purrgil travel in hyperspace? Could space whales exist? How does celestial navigation occur in the Star Wars universe?

The Panel

If you, too, have such questions, “The Science of Ahsoka” panel at Los Angeles Comic Con is for you. Besides me, our panel will feature a pilot, a paleontologist, a conservation biologist, and Star Wars experts.
