BECAUSE SCIENCE Explores the Potential Science of Force Lightning

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is finally out which means everyone’s talking about the amazing fantasy series. Well, “everyone” includes Kyle Hill over at the YouTube show Because Science. In the latest video on the channel, Hill decided to explore how Force Lightning (the signature move of Emperor Palpatine) could work using real-world physics. In addition, Hill briefly talks about a potential way to make Force Lightning ineffective. This doesn’t change the fact that Star Wars is just a fun movie, but it can be fun to look for potential explanations.

How does Force Lightning work, and how powerful would it have to be to fry up some Jedi? This video is made in paid partnership with EA. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is available now on Xbox One, PS4, and PC: http://bit.ly/35rHnel
