It's fantasy.  Harry Potter in space.

There.  I said it.

Don't care where it's filed.  I like it.   :p

Labels suck, anyway.  Example: Anita Blake novels filed under "Horror" rather then "Girlypron."

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

Really? For some reason around here they get filed as "Science Fiction" :? or Fantasy.

Definitely science fantasy. 

How does the Millenium Falcon go?  You make the throttle go forward, and the ship goes moar faster!  Duh.

Compare to Star Trek:
How does the Enterprise go?  There's a warp drive, and dilithium crystals, and antimatter, and science jargon happens, and you push a sequence of buttons and then and only then does the ship go moar faster.

I've often heard that argument that the original Star Wars films were fantasy, but the new ones were not, thanks to "midichlorines" or whatever that retarded addition was called.

Speaking of which, does everyone here already know the redlettermedia reviews of the new trilogy?

If not, go hit YouTube, you're in for some three amusing yet disturbing hours.
Unless stated otherwise, feel free to copy or reproduce any text I post anywhere and any way you like. I will never throw a hissy-fit over it, promise.

There.  I said it.

I always had it categorized in the genre of "trite crap full of unlikeable actors".

Frankly, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson are WAY more likeable than Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, not that it makes their crappy movies any better.

Well of course. It doesn't have nearly enough telepathic cats to be real SciFi.

 "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...."

Opening credits, check it out. This is the clue. Given that time and space is infinite and parallel universes and quantums and shit, Star Wars is neither Scifi nor Fantasy. Star Wars is a motherfucken documentary!  8)

That means that there is a galaxy somewhere, where Nigel is Darth Vader.  :fap:
