re: Another Thread About Star Wars NOT A Science Fiction Movie

Was outer space involved? Was there radical advanced technology that doesn't even remotely exist now nor when the movie was made? Are those technologies critical to the advancement of the plot? Must be science fiction seeing how I don't recall there being a giant orbital laser weapon threatening to destroy an entire planet in "The Frisco Kid". Does it borrow a lot of plot points from the fairy tale genre? Absolutely. Does it share a lot of character archetypes and motifs with Western Epics? Absolutely However, Arthur Pendragon didn't become King of the Britons by firing proton torpedoes into a spot not much larger than one of those womp rats he use to shoot with his T-16 back home. There's also a severe lack of Twi-leks in "410 to Yuma", and I don't remember there being travel through outer space in "Sleeping Beauty".

All of this. And on top of that, there's precious little that falls out of George Lucas' pie hole that I give an ounce of credibility to. frick that fat ruiner of childhoods.

Han shot first and there is no 4th Indiana Jones movie.
