Wishing that Star Wars was real manages to be completely outlandish and totally rational, both at the same time.
So as you all watch the newly released Blu-ray saga for the sixth time this week, news emerges that we might be closer than we think.
NASA's Kepler spacecraft has detected a giant planet, catchily termed Kepler-16b, that orbits around two stars, meaning it enjoys a double sunset, as witnessed by Luke Skywalker on the planet of Tatooine.
Ignoring the fact that it's uninhabitable, due to it being made of gas, it's still a rather cool discovery as it turns a piece of science fiction into fact.
Sadly, the planet lies around 200 light years from earth, making it an awkward holiday destination.
