Those items are window dressing. Including them does not automatically make SWs SF. Quote: I'd have to say one litmus test for sci-fi or fantasy is do they use "practical" or "fantastic" methods to achieve the currently impossible. The litmus test for SF is whether the story told is based on logical extensions of current technology and is an extension of our current world. SWs fails on both counts because it occurs in the past and .... Quote: Plus, as was mentioned, the force could simply have been another name for telekinesis which would be scientific. (Could have, if you ignore the midichlorians.) The concept of The Force I was referring to as fantasy was the universal aspect as something that binds together all living things. There is never a plausible scientific and objective explanation for its existence. SWs has some space opera trappings but it is clearly fantasy. |
