Star Wars: The Science Awakens

Kim Steadman (NASA Mars Curiosity), Kieran Dickson (editor, Outerplaces.com), Aaron Sagers (Blastr) and Travis Langley (editor, Star Wars Psychology), as they break down the science behind a galaxy far far away and discuss whether or not Kylo Ren’s Force Awakens Lightsaber is genius or sacrilege.

October 08, 2016, 1:15 PM – 2:15 PM – Alan Tudyk will curse your sudden, but inevitable betrayal, if you’re not at his Panel! Find out what’s happening in the latest season of Con Man, the hilarious web series from Alan, Nathan Fillion and PJ Haarsma.

We’ll be sure to cover more on the Writer’s Roundtable when it hits, as it’s likely that we’ll get a slew of interesting information about the forthcoming books the three authors are working on. If anything else of note comes out of NYCC, we at Star Wars News Net will let you know.
