While Simona is away, Alex will play...and spend an entire episode flaunting her Star Wars knowledge. Does zooarchaeology exist in the Star Wars universe? And how can we somehow involve Baby Yoda in this conversation? Tune in to find out!

Further Reading

General Discussion: Part 1

  • Disclaimer: I don't care about canon, this is gonna include expanded universe material.
  • Star Wars is All About Archaeology: A Thesis By Alex Fitzpatrick
  • And thus, Star Wars must ALSO be all about ZOOARCHAEOLOGY!
  • Fun Fact: Jedi Zooarchaeologists are (most likely) canon!
  • CONFIRMED: There are Star Wars zooarchaeology toys????
  • Dark and Light Sides: Why is Archaeology So Important to the Jedi and Sith? And how would zooarchaeology factor in?

General Discussion Part 2

  • What would space zooarchaeologists have to consider?
  • Differences in Pressure, Other Environmental Issues (Preservation in Hoth VS Preservation in Manaan?))
  • Different cultures per planet and issues of sentience - cultural aspects of creatures?
  • Do droids count? See: Droid Planet M4-78
  • What would be the point of zooarchaeology in the Star Wars Universe?
  • How does the Force factor into all this?
  • Jedi can integrate their bodies and life into the Force after death - can Force sensitive creatures do the same? How will that affect the zooarchaeological record?
  • See also: other forms of mysticism and how that interacts with the dead, like the Nightsisters on Dathomir who resurrect their mummified dead Case Studies (aka Favourite Star Wars Animals)

More

  • We gotta talk about Baby Yoda and Alex’s Yoda Species Conspiracy Theory.
  • Porgs: The Bane of Achto Archaeologists’ Lives?
  • The Hsiss aka Invisible Creatures that can do Jedi Mind Tricks who Definitely Ruined a LOT of Excavations on Korriban
