In a galaxy
not so far away, a German professor has transformed an observatory into a giant
R2-D2 because why the hell not.
Dr. Hubert
Zitt, a professor at the Zweibrücken University of Applied Sciences, is an
expert in electrotechnology and Star Wars.
Although
Zitt only received a doctorate for his knowledge in the field of systems theory
of electrotechnology, yeah I have no idea what that is either, he is famous for
the lectures he delivers in Star Wars.
According to
Bored Panda, the science-fiction fan decided to give the Zweibrück Observatory
of the Natural Science Association a makeover, painting it to look like Star
Wars‘ adorable robot R2-D2.
Recruiting
his father-in-law Horst Hell, painter Klaus Ruffing and several of his
students, Zitt transformed the observatory in September 2018, much to the
delight of Star Wars fans.
Sharing an
image of a Jawa standing outside the observatory, one person wrote on
Instagram:
''On the
grounds of the FH in Zweibrücken the students have had a reason to be happy for
a few weeks.''
''In
collaboration with their Prof Hubert Zitt they have painstakingly transformed
the dome of the observatory into the Star Wars droid R2-D2.''
''So I think
that part can be really proud. A galactic strong result. May the force be with
you!!!''
I bet Zitt
is excited to see the latest Star Wars film, Episode IX, which is hitting
cinemas later this year.
Ever since
the release of Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi in 2017, fans have been
eagerly awaiting any clues as to what they can expect from the next
installment.
The upcoming
blockbuster will bring to a close the latest trilogy of the main Star Wars film
franchise.
Although
plot details are being kept under wraps, we do know Daisy Ridley (Rey), John
Boyega (Finn), Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron), Anthony
Daniels (C-3P0), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Kelly Marie Tran (Rose), and
Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux) are all coming back for the sequel.
Original
star Billy Dee Williams is set to return to the Star Wars universe as Lando
Calrissian, an old friend of Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca.
Now, Disney
hurry up and drop the trailer, I can’t cope with the suspense!
