More Meme Therapy elsewhere

[mrissa]

And here's the second Meme Therapy question I answered: "Is it worth maintaining the thin red line between Science Fiction and Fantasy?" Oh, just guess what the gist of my answer was. C'mon. You can do it. I believe in you.

That's easy. Different media have different genre boundaries. For example, comics fans don't consider superhero comics to be either sf or fantasy; in written-words-only stuff, any superhero fiction which isn't a tie-in is sf if there's a pseudo-scientific rationale for the unusual powers, fantasy if it's magical. (Unless, of course...)

So, which category Star Wars falls into is a question for movie buffs. And since I'm not a movie buff (for some time, the most recent Elizabeth Taylor movie I'd seen was "National Velvet"), it's not my problem to figure that out.
