In 1977, the first Star Wars movie hit theatres, sparking a fascination and obsession across
generations that continues to this day.
Star wars is a worldwide pop culture phenomenon, the third highest grossing film series.
Perhaps one of the reasons why star wars is so revered is because it makes us wonder if
life will ever be like the films created by George lucas.
And so, lifes biggest questions asks, what if star wars was real?
Hello and welcome back to lifes biggest questions, I’m charlotte dobre.
If you’re a fan of nerd culture, which of course you are because you’re watching this
video, check out our sister channel top ten nerd.
Imagine a world where humanity lived in space and travelled from planet to planet.
What if robots and aliens were our companions?
What if there really was a gigantic space station like the death star that could obliterate
our planet with the press of one button?
If the death star was real, Lets face it, we would probably be pretty much screwed as
of right now.
We are definitely not advanced enough as a civilization at this point to take on a space
ship like death star.
But in a couple of thousand years, if we don’t kill each other off, or go extinct, it is
very likely that humans will live in space, and on other planets, and we will possess
many of the technologies we see in star wars.
But if star wars was real, that would mean the force would be real.
The force is an energy field that connects all living things in the galaxy.
Certain individuals are be able to harness the force who are sensitive to it.
How cool would it be to be able to lift objects with our mind and control the thoughts of
others?
Correction, it would be cool for the people who could harness the force, but not for everyone
else.
Unless you were friends with someone who could harness the force and they could harness it
for you to steal ice cream or something.
But otherwise, it would be pretty scary if people could harness lightning with their
fingertips and they were on the dark side.
If star wars was real, the light and the dark side would be real too.
Sure there would be jedi’s and other good guys, but there would also be really evil
individuals like siths as well.
The good guys and bad guys would constantly be at war with each other, each trying to
destroy the other.
For the rest of us, life would pretty much be pretty desolate.
Most of us would basically try to keep to ourselves if we weren’t directly involved
with either side.
Imagine if light sabres were real.
Yeah, it would be cool…
But maybe its a good thing they don’t exist.
There wouldn’t be a lot of people left if light sabers were real, and we were able to
whip it out every time we got in an argument.
Light sabres don’t leave any blood or shell casings.
Pretty much perfect if you don’t have any morals stopping you from killing someone.
Whats to stop bar fights from turning into mass murders?
Nothing, that’s what,.
Light sabre technology definitely isnt possible.
I mean… light sabres defy the laws of physics so no worries there.
Hovercraft technology is totally possible at this point, but again Maybe its also a
good thing we don’t get around on speeder bikes.
Hyperspace, if it were real, would be really hard to utilize, unless you were really skilled
in driving space and hovercraft.
A large percentage of the world’s population would die in mid-air collisions and explosions.
So if star wars was real, the few of us that were left after all the light sabre bar fights
and mid-air collisions of us would lead quiet lives on different planets, hanging out in
small groups, likely with robots.
That wouldn’t be so bad, right?.
There are already robots that exist that are helping nasa astronats, scientists and engineers.
Robonaut is a humanlike robot aboard the international space station that does simple tasks for astronauts,
allowing the astronauts more time to do the harder tasks, or even just allow them to take
a break.
Eventually, nasa wants robonaut to be able to perform tasks like space walks that put
humans in danger, as well as perform medical procedures.
Who knows, maybe in the future we will all have a robot in our home to store data, perform
simple tasks and provide us with comic relief.
Perhaps a world very much like the one In star wars is not out of the question.
Minus the force and the jedis and siths and hyperspace.
Nasa plans to have humans living on the moon by 2024.
Eventually we will inhabit space and other planets, I mean, we will be pretty much forced
to find another place to live if we keep destroying this planet.
And perhaps, long ago, in a galaxy far far away, star wars really is real life.
The universe is 13.7 billion years old, and it is statistically impossible for our civilization
to be the only intelligent civilization that’s ever existed.
Whos to say a civilization hasn’t advanced enough somewhere in the universe to be resemble
the civilization of starwars.
Of course, Star wars is a work of fiction.
But 40 years after its release, it continues to inspire us, our technologies, and this
video.
