Star Wars Technical Commentaries
|
|
Star Wars Technical Commentaries are a set of detailed documents exploring the nature and limits of the technology of the Star Wars universe. They are maintained by Dr. Curtis Saxton, Ph.D. (Astrophysics) and located at Theforce.net. SWTC attempts to physically rationalize the depiction of technology and science in the Star Wars franchise, an effort that has provoked mixed reactions from online fans and particularly amongst participants in the ongoing Star Trek versus Star Wars debate. Attack of the Clones: Incredible Cross Sections, an official publication also written by Dr. Saxton, draws on material and insight available at SWTC.
Ironically, many members of his host's message board (that of Theforce.net's) disagree with certain parts of SWTC 1 (http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=16708766&start=17095539). His methodical and empirical methodology is reportedly disfavored by some at Lucasfilm who would prefer a less scientific view of the Star Wars franchise 2 (http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?p=1257277).
