Words are funny things. But the crowd&#x27;s against you on this. Space and lasers don&#x27;t make something sci-fi, and Star Wars is a conversation example of Science Fantasy - magic in space.<p>Science fiction builds a universe on the innovation and consequence. Star Wars doesn&#x27;t work when you think like this. &quot;why doesn&#x27;t all the air leak out of the hanger into space?&quot;, &quot;why can people see energy beams in the sky that are millions of miles away?&quot;, &quot;why don&#x27;t robots shoot straight?&quot;, &quot;why can&#x27;t they write an algorithm to match BB-8&#x27;s segment of the map in the map database?&quot;, &quot;in all the vastness of space, how did Han+Chewey chance upon the Millennium Falcon?&quot;. And, the force just doesn&#x27;t fit.<p>2001 and The Martian are fine examples of scifi.
