    Meet Hubert Zitt. He’s a professor of electrotechnology at the Zweibrücken University of Applied Sciences in Germany.

    He’s also known for this extensive pop culture knowledge of all things “Star Wars” and “Star Trek.”

    So much so, that he’s delivered lectures on the subjects.

    Although the university is rather small, it has a great reputation in their specific field of science.

    Hubert got some help for this huge undertaking from his father-in-law, a painter, and several students.

    Hubert’s R2-D2 observatory already has one very prominent fan. Mark Hamill himself tweeted his appreciation for this incredible transformation.
