WATCH: Daniel Logan Uses Arm-Mounted Flamethrower To Test Strength of Boba Fett’s Armor
As the Star Wars
universe’s most famous bounty hunter, Boba Fett has an armored chest
plate, a back-mounted jet pack, wrist gauntlets housing a fiber cord
whip, and a mounted blaster and a mini-flamethrower. Watch what happens
when the actor who played young Boba Fett in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones tests a recreation of Boba Fett’s armor, a 5.5 Kevlar vest — whose tensile strength makes it 5x stronger than steel — against Star Wars-level weaponry.
About Science and Star Wars
Science and Star Wars is a new digital series from Disney and Lucasfilm that explores the science of the Star Wars universe,
just how close real-world scientists are coming to emulate the
technology, and the role of the franchise in inspiring some of science’s
greatest innovations.
Over
the course of 10 episodes, host Anthony Carboni and his rotating roster
of scientific experts and celeb guests will experiment with technology
that isn’t actually so far, far away anymore (think: Jedi mind control
and lightsabers). Each episode will explore one scientific theme,
including Droids and Carbonite. Episodes can be found exclusively on the
Star Wars official Facebook page.
