I know I sound like an idiot right now, but in Star Wars, a science fiction film saga, actually ignores scientific accuracy.

Star Wars is science/fantasy not science/fiction.

star wars is not a fantasy. Why Do/would U say so????

Because it's a fact.  If you know the differences between the tow genres you can easily see why Star Wars is classed as fantasy as opposed to Fiction.

Star Wars can't be classified as fiction because it all really happened.

Yes it's an historical picture based on fact like Game Of Thrones and Conan.

If he did escape, he would have had somewhat of a role in ESB and ROTJ. I believe he did in fact die on the Death Star.

Grand Moff Tarkin actually did survive the explosion. I remember reading a book about that. When the Death Star attack commenced, Tarkin, an old war hero, was shocked to see the troops die once more like in his old days. He reconsidered his career with the Empire and as everyone was too busy with the battle, he packed his stuff and hid in the Death Star basement, which is where he survived the explosion. He then took a cab home and retired on the beaches of Utapau.

The person we see right before the explosion is in fact Tarkin's bodyguard/body-double known simply as Billy. Apparently he did not survive the explosion but the evidence from last year's season of Clone Wars seems to suggest that he may have been saved as well.

Yes, yes I had that book.......see told ya

SW is not a fantasy story.......

Fantasy=orcs, dragons, elves, goblins, magic, witchcraft, witches, wizards, sorcerers and warlocks and mages, mystical powers and artifacts and magical swords, hobbits, balrogs, fictional gods and deities......

Science fiction=spaceships, telepathy, galaxies, hyperspace, interplanetary setting, faster than light travel, ray guns and laser guns (lightsabers anybody here), aliens, robots, cyborgs, space battles, cloning, space stations, floating hovering cities (cloud city!!!).......

There are other fantasies too.......

how is star wars a documentary????

If its science fiction how come it says "A long time ago" at the beginning, science fiction is about the future

Science fiction isn't by definition futuristic......

Futuristic settings are very common for science fiction, but not a must.... X-Men is science fiction, yet it takes place in modern times, just like space oddsey and gattaca and stuff like that......

Some fantasy can actually be futuristic, if it has supernatural, mystical and magical elements and downplays on the science elements; if it has supernatural, mystical, and magical elements combined with a focus on science fiction themes (as opposed to just a background setting/props), then it's is science fantasy, a blending of the two genres......

Science fiction can take place in the past..... For instance, what if I write a book about a guy that time travels to the past, you see now????
