- CWuestefeld 16y agoThat's one purpose. My own suggestion elsewhere in this thread, Rainbows End, fits into this category. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that George Lucas never meant to tell us that we'd be playing with light sabers. Frequently, the futuristic technology of sci-fi is nothing more than a literary device allowing the author to contrive a situation or theme that wouldn't be possible with more mundane environments.
- barrkel 16y agoGeorge Lucas never made any sci-fi after THX-1138, and that itself was pretty derivative. Star Wars is a medieval swords and sorcery fantasy, only set in space.
