The idea of whether a human being could actually dodge a laser blast is given reality by those famed TV engineers and makers of the impossible possible, Adam and Jamie, when their MYTHBUSTERS series returns to the UK's DISCOVERY channel on Wednesday 9th September 2015 (8pm), for another slice of STAR WARS science fact checking: The Myths Strike Back. As well as paying homage to the classic Blockade Runner opening scene, they'll also find out whether it's possible for Obi-Wan Kenobi to have lightsaber sliced Anakin Skywalker's arms and legs off the way he did during the brutal Mustafar finale of EPISODE III. Gross, but fun!
