What a maroon!

 If only he understood that Star Wars isn't sic-fi.

That's not the issue, because he's arguing that it isn't (it's entirely possible I'm giving him too much credit, though). I can see how associating Star Wars with sf can give the latter a bad name, but that's not the fault of either Star Wars or its creator.

The article reminded me of this interview:

Beale seems more interested in looking for a (click-baity) scapegoat and seeking validation than in identifying the actual problem. Who needs logic anyway, right?
