40 years ago, on 25 May 1977, Star Wars began its world-wide success story with the first movie being launched at 32 cinemas in the USA. Since then the famous series has sparked the imagination of generations. Through interactive workshops, we propose to engage STFC staff outside of accelerator science, as well as cohorts of secondary school children (years 7/8) with STFC science by immersing them into a Star Wars-themed environment. On the event days, we will illustrate and explain what is science and what is fiction in the movies. This will include for example the physics behind the iconic light sabre, hyperspace, and of course...the force. In addition, we will link the Star Wars universe to current STFC-funded research in Liverpool's Physics Departments and show how this can be as exciting as what is shown in Star Wars. Finally, there will be many hands-on activities and opportunities to speak with our researchers.This ties in perfectly with STFC public engagement strategy in that we will use Star Wars to explain the challenges our society currently faces, present recent research results and use the event to dispel misconceptions about how nature 'ticks' and show how innovative ideas are needed to overcome these challenges - improving the understanding of the importance of accelerator science as underpinning technology for current R&D. The events shall also motivate participants and the wider public through online campaigns supporting the events to consider further training and careers in research.

40年前，即1977年5月25日，《星球大战》开始了全球成功的故事，第一部电影是在美国32电影院上映的。从那时起，著名的系列引发了几代人的想象。通过互动研讨会，我们建议通过将STFC的工作人员与STFC科学融入ACCELERATOR SCICAIL以及中学儿童（7/8年）之外的STFC员工，并通过将他们浸入以星球大战为主题的环境中。在活动时期，我们将说明和解释电影中的科学和小说是什么。这将包括标志性轻剑，超空间，当然还有……力量背后的物理。此外，我们将将《星球大战》宇宙与利物浦物理部门当前由STFC资助的研究联系起来，并展示这与《星球大战》中所显示的那样令人兴奋。 Finally, there will be many hands-on activities and opportunities to speak with our researchers.This ties in perfectly with STFC public engagement strategy in that we will use Star Wars to explain the challenges our society currently faces, present recent research results and use the event to dispel misconceptions about how nature 'ticks' and show how innovative ideas are needed to overcome these challenges - improving the understanding of the importance of accelerator science as underpinning technology for current R&D.这些事件还应通过支持事件的在线运动来激发参与者和更广泛的公众，以考虑进一步的培训和研究。
