RFR Q&A #243: The Wildlife of Star Wars

The world-building of Star Wars includes much more than planets, vehicles, aliens, technology, and The Force. Many different and exotic animal species are introduced in the saga, and many of them have real-world characteristics. RFR V.I.P. Cris "Turtle Wars" Hagen is the director of animal management for the Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA) and an expert on various animal and reptile species. And naturally, a Star Wars superfan who uses his knowledge to present us with true connections between Earthy creatures to those seen on screen in the films. Learn about species named after characters from Star Wars, and even where you'll find very real-world animals in the Original Trilogy, some hiding in plain site!

Follow along with Cris's slideshow presentation with RFR All Access and the full show video of this podcast!
