Help us, Neil deGrasse Tyson! You’re our only hope!
Dear @neiltyson I’m writing the Star Wars standalone @RogueOne2016 — have a brief astronomy Q for you — sending you this twitter hail mary

Tyson’s been vocal online about the science in movies like Gravity and Interstellar to varying degrees of harshness, so reaching out the famous astrophysicist preemptively to make sure the science in the first Star Wars Anthology film is sound is a pretty smart decision by writer Chris Weitz. He hasn’t responded yet, but we can only hope that Tyson will answer the call.
That way, maybe Rogue One will be more scientifically sound than you can possibly imagine.
