And the only good answer for the poll is OMG ITS TEH MOVIES WITH MILE LONG SPACESHIPS IN IT

I see what you mean but I was giving an example that I though the topic creator could identify with.Being a sci-fi and fantasy fan I know there is more to fantasy literature than your standard dungeons and dragons and magical swords and epic quest books.

Sure, no offence intended or taken. IMO Star Wars is very much borderline, though.

Well,the whole thing with the force,and Jedi & Sith is a fantasy element ,and a very important one at that.

Still think SW is largely a sc-fi film though.

On a quick side note I think a series of books that offer a fresh take on fantasy are Stephen King's Dark Tower books.A great mishmash of fantasy,western and horror and one of the best "quest" series of books ever written.

Besides being a SW geek I am also a confirmed Tower junkie

sci-fi ... albeit a sort of boy-band version ...

Fantasy for me. Pretty much fantasy with some sci-fi elements in it but all in all fantasy. It's more philosophical and political than scientific. Plus, it doesn't relate to our global societies, present or futuristic except maybe on a metaphoric level.
