Devi Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) I love both! Lately though I am having a fantasy binge hehe.

Vladd Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'd probably say fantasy but only because I've read much more of it than sci-fi Also I get slightly confused as to what makes something sci-fi after my tutor at uni told us star wars couldn't technically be classed as sci-fi, since sci-fi is characterised by being set in the future, and star wars is a 'long time ago in a galaxy far far away'. What an odd idea by that argument War of the Worlds isn't Sci Fi because it is set in the era it was written. Whisper it quietly not to upset the fanboys but Star Wars is really a fantasy story. Orphan boy with mystical powers led on a quest by an elderly wizard /mentor character, rescues the princess from the evil wizard and with the help of the reformed knight helps save the day by destroying the evil fortress, the evil wizard escapes to return another day. Now does that sound sci fi to you or fantasy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now does that sound sci fi to you or fantasy? Yeah, I've always thought of Star Wars as 'space fantasy'. Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for having some, well, science in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
