Everyone who keeps saying “Strip away space and it could be a Western...” to prove Star Wars isn’t sci fi? Puh-leeze.

Star Wars is science fiction the way "chocolate-flavored" (the term used when there just isn't enough chocolate present...) easter candy is...chocolate. A poor product, in gaudy wrapping.

I’m not offering an opinion on the movie — I’m simply observing that “Star Wars” is not a fantasy. Nor is it a Western. It’s science fiction.
