Fleet Night of Science
MAY 24 PRIVATE SCREENING OF SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY He’s a smuggler. A scoundrel. A hero. And you can be among the first to see him! Join the Fleet Science Center and our event partner, Old Harbor Distilling Co. for an exclusive private screening of Solo: A Star Wars Story. We kick off with a pre-screening party at Sandbox in Downtown San Diego, starting at 6:30 p.m. Come in costume and you just may win a prize! Hang with Stormtroopers from the 501st Legion and take a selfie with R2D2. Find out what scientific secret the colors of lightsabers hold. Experiment and see if you have what it takes to make materials float using the Force like Rey. Explore the “Worlds of Star Wars” in a fascinating discussion with Dr. Lisa Will and Dr. Shane Haggard. Discuss whether Han Solo shot first with fellow Star Wars fans. Plus, you can bust and confirm myths in MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition.
