For this Sci-Friday, we want to remember that John Williams, aside from being a musical genius, is a lovely person. Here, a couple of people decided to play the Star Wars theme outside of his house. Instead of being annoyed, Williams came out to say hello:
Science fiction isn’t cold and dark, it brings people together through its unique perspective on art and beauty. And if you like Sci-Friday, you can go down the rabbit hole of every other Sci-Friday I’ve published in the past couple years. Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend!
For this Friday, please enjoy the charmingly low-tech origins of the Star Wars lightsaber sound design. It actually comes from two places (movie projector motors and TV tube interference). For any budding foley artists out there, this is a masterclass in using low tech to achieve high tech sounds:
I’ll post more ‘how did they make that sound’ videos. And if you like Sci-Friday, you can go down the rabbit hole of every other Sci-Friday I’ve published in the past couple years. Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend!
Fun fact: when George Lucas isn’t making movies, he makes a living as a background extra. Here he is in his greatest performance ever, “Average dad walking through the background of the narrator:”
I’m just kidding, George Lucas isn’t a background extra – it was just a random ‘what are the odds’ moment on a random street corner. Happy Friday, and enjoy your weekend!
For this Sci-Friday, enjoy some Star Trek bloopers featuring some modern man candy: Chris Pine and Benedict Cumberbatch. It’s also got some great one-liners from Karl Urban and Simon Pegg:

So true it’s heartbreaking – somebody broke the entire series of The Mandalorian into a low-budget 30-second spoof. Here now for your Friday entertainment: Every Episode of The Mandalorian Ever:
Watch it now, before Disney has it removed from Youtube! And if you like Sci-Friday, you can go down the rabbit hole of every other Sci-Friday I’ve published in the past couple years. Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend!
For this Sci-Friday, I’m sharing this Gus Johnson clip … he loves SF but doesn’t mind making fun of it. In ‘my life as a non star wars fan,’ you’ll see what life is like for people who think Jar Jar is the pinnacle of Star Wars lore.
Hope you enjoy “Life as a Non-Star Wars Fan” as much as you enjoy your weekend. And if you like Sci-Friday, you can go down the rabbit hole of every other Sci-Friday I’ve published in the past couple years. Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend!
For this Friday, enjoy a short film about a robot on the run. ‘Exile’ is quick, but compelling. Great CGI and decent performances by the two human actors.
I’d love to write some of my shorts into a Dust production. Anyone know how to reach out?
No matter what, have a great weekend! 🙂
For today’s Sci-Friday, enjoy ‘Russian Cyberpunk Farm,’ a tongue-in-cheek scifi short about life in a Russian village enabled by technology. If you love the work of Simon Stalenhag, this is your jam. Watch it all the way to the end, it’s got a wicked twist:
Want to work on the Russian Cyberpunk Farm? Act now, applications are running out fast! Have a great weekend and keep on dreaming!
The thing I love about nerds is that they make everything amazing, even in little ways. In today’s example, a nerd plays the Star Wars Imperial Theme with a coffee stirrer.
Is this the best video ever? No, but that’s not the point. If you look for small ways to change the world, they add up.
