Neil deGrasse Tyson took to Twitter recently to toy with some earthlings, challenge, nitpick, and critique a series of scientific inaccuracies in ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens.’
In @StarWars #TheForceAwakens, BB-8, a smooth rolling metal spherical ball, would have skidded uncontrollably on sand.

In @StarWars #TheForceAwakens, if you were to suck all of a star’s energy into your planet, your planet would vaporize.

In @StarWars #TheForceAwakens, the energy in a Star is enough to destroy ten-thousand planets, not just a few here & there.

He’s done this in the past with other movies like ‘Interstellar,’ and quite frankly, it’s a bit of an unbecoming buzzkill. Tyson doesn’t care though, and claims some of the audience will watch sci-fi films for ideas on what to invent for future days.
