| It has to be sci-fi. Surely fantasy has to have a wizard? Also none of the fantasy books I've read have space ships in them. |

Sci-Fi.Fantasy is stuff like Tolkien's Hobbit and Rings Trilogy and Terry Brooks Shannara books. A lot of influence for Lucas' SW universe and look and feel came from 1950's Republic Serials,Errol Flynn movies and old Westerns.I think of SW almost as a sci-fi western with these mystic elements thrown in. -------------  |

"The Attack of The Gaint Blob" is far bettter!!!! It had the cheepest special efect in the history of s-f movies!  The blob attacked a Cafe...

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. ------------- |

. IMO Star Wars is very much borderline, though.Posted By: TheProgtologist

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 ... ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.” "No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present." |

| 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. |
