I think this is the proper place for this post. In today's San Jose Mercury News they they had a mini article on this website. I think a lot of the people on this site would enjoy it.

I would also try http://www.badastronomy.com
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

Fun page, even if it was short. Though I find their analysis of TPM to be a bit... silly. Why automatically assume the Gungan underwater shield has to be keyed to the composition of the target?

The site is very biased towards pro-Trek and anti-SW viewpoints. They seem to think ST is infallible. When ST makes a mistake such as sound in space, they comment "Even Star Trek..." as if Star Trek is remotely scientifically accurate. Then, they mock TPM even though an investigation into the official material or SWTC would have invalidated some of their comments, meanwhile there is not a single Trek film on their page. They also call those who explain how SW tech works "Star Wars apologists."
