Here’s something cool that was recently sent in to RetroZap! It’s about Star Wars and batteries.
Every once in a while, we get something interesting sent in to the home offices. This is one such thing. It’s from a major website, but they reached out to us, and it’s a fun read! It’s about batteries. Check it out!
Hi team RetroZap!
I noticed that you folks have an eye for cool tech and pop culture, and I thought you might be excited about this visual guide to the amount of power that goes in to every piece of Star Wars tech. It’s insanely (maybe obsessively) detailed, and we got a real live physicist to help with the calculations. I also think it’s just so cool to look at.

Joseph Tavano is the owner and editor in chief of RetroZap. Born just months before Luke found out who his father was, he has been fortunate to have had Star Wars in his life as long as he can remember. Growing up just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, he can remember substituting sticks for lightsabers and BMX bikes for speeders. He loves comics, retro games, vintage sci-fi paperbacks, and maps. Though an accomplished drummer, he doesn’t crave adventure (as much) any more, and prefers his old haunts north of Boston, Massachusetts, where he resides with his family. Buy him a glass of whiskey and he’ll return it in kind.
