This is a great post. I am a huge Star Wars fan. Star Trek is one of the best sci-fi themed shows. All though I am not a true fan, I still like Star Trek.

It cannot be denied that both have inspired the minds of young engineers and scientists. Star Trek and Star Wars were both created around the time humanity took it's first steps into space.

So much of the technology we have today was once thought of as science fiction. It's amazing how the human mind can be inspired by fiction to influence reality.

Thank you for this post. I have been working on an idea for a Star Wars project. It has been somewhat challenging and I have considered seeking outside help. The idea is a toy hack. I would really like to see if it could be featured on TBHS if such a thing is possible. I am a huge fan of the show. I believe that Ben Heck and team would be the most qualified for this project.

I would like to donate the toy and parts that I have to see this project completed. And I would like the toy given away to a good home. Does anyone know if this is possible?

At the Maker Faire a few years back I met the R2D2 builders club, and they had lots of cool builds.

I've also been watching PatchBOTs on youtube who has built a BB8 and is now building a C1-10P
