In 1977, the world was transported to a galaxy far, far away, populated by exotic planets, futuristic technologies, and a mysterious force that connects every living being. With Star Wars, science fiction cinema has sparked the imagination of millions of people, as well as the curiosity of scientists.
How much truth is there in science fiction? Can we really build a lightsaber? Are there planets like Tatooine? Is it possible to travel through hyperspace? And, above all, to what extent is science inspired by fantasy? A journey through science and science fiction led by Luca Perri, a Ph.D. in Physics and Astrophysics and science communicator, accompanied by John Williams’ iconic music performed by the Milan Symphony Orchestra. Epic and timeless, Williams’ compositions have not only given voice to the Star Wars universe but have also become an integral part of the collective imagination, capable of evoking emotions and visions that extend far beyond the screen.
