German Professor Transformed Observatory Into R2-D2

Professor Hubert Zitt, who is widely known for his fascinating lectures on Star Wars, Star Trek and other science fiction, completed the project in August 2018, along with his father-in-law and several helpful students, and it has caught the eyes of Star Wars fans everywhere. Dr. Zitt teaches electrotechnology and has a doctorate from Saarland University in systems theory of electrotechnology (which sounds pretty impressive if I say so myself) and is now a tenured professor at the University of Applied Sciences, Kaiserslautern, Zweibrücken.

Zitt gained so much recognition in his field that he wrote the preface of the book ‘Star Trek in Germany’ along with the son of the Star Trek inventor Gene Roddenberry. In the fall semester of the same year, Dr. Zitt became a regular lecturer at the The University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas teaching ‘The Physics of Star Trek.

’R2-D2 stands proud, guarding the university, but knowing how hardcore this professor is, maybe C-3PO will join him sometime in the future? which building would that be? We will be eagerly waiting to see what this hardcore fan has in store for us next!
