About :

Anakin Skywalker loses a hand in the fight against Count Dooku, and the duel between Mustafar and Obi-Wan Kenobi costs him his second hand and both legs. And as if that wasn't bad enough, he ends up falling into lava and suffering pretty severe burns. What would be certain death for others is the birth of Darth Vader in Star Wars - Anakin puts on his iconic black suit and today we're taking it apart and seeing how realistic the technology inside it is. Jack doesn't do this alone, but with the wisdom of Hubert Zitt, professor of computer engineering at the University of Kaiserslautern. ▸https://www.hs-kl.de/hochschule/profi... #starwars #maythe4th #sciencevsfiction Sources, backgrounds and further information about this episode: A big thank you for the input on suit technology goes out to Luc from @Nerdfactory, please head over to his channel and leave a little love from us: ▸ / @nerdfactory A thousand thanks also to the "Stars of the Galaxy" in Mönchengladbach, who even organized a "real" Darth Vader for us: ▸ https://www.starsofthegalaxy.de You can find him, like many of his colleagues, here: ▸ https://weg.org/ All information about Anakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader, can of course be found in the jedipedia: ▸ https://jedipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Ana...
