Star Wars has been called science fantasy for ages.

Also, what does "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" sound like? "Once upon a time, in a land far, far away," of course. This goes along with the fact that the original Star Wars is pretty much the archetypal fantasy film, but with futuristic technology.

It's science fantasy.

On a note less off topic: speaking of unlikely death cheatings, my brother has been trying to convince since 2005 that Mace Windu didn't die in ROTS. I've been telling him that he's crazy, and that no one else shares that opinion, but recently he told me all of his college buds share the same belief. It's a little baffling, but, I'll raise the question anyway:

Do you think Mace Windu survived being electrocuted and thrown off a 300 story building?

Did mace windu die from the electruction or the falling from heights???

Which one???

If I write a hard science fiction story about a qunatum physics scientist guy who travels to the past, it's is still science fiction......
