    I make the argument that Star Wars is not science fiction, rather a fantasy that takes place in space. Science and technology do not drive the stories, nor are they the solutions to the problems that arise. They are incidental and could just as well be replaced with actual magic. They tried to go the other way by explaining the force with midiclorians… Which was accepted by basically no one.

      Bro, you got some weird brain worms. Not considering Star Wars as science fiction based on some technical hubbub is like calling Trump a communist because he the reginality of caucus results in his disposition to yearn for the masses. That ain’t real life. This is science, bitch. Get with the God damn. It is as it are and be so it will do, so it shall.

    The real, most trolling cruelty here is that if you say “Star Wars” you can’t have “It’s a trap!”

    And Star Trek fans will have to endure a Star Wars meme staining their choice.

      I think the bigger cruelty is that you aren’t going to get the across right away regardless without STAR filled in. But if you immediately get “It’s a trap!” then you are going to later get trolled with Star Trek being better.

        If you write “Star Wars,” then the correct answer is “It’s a wrap,” even though the Star Wars fan will likely think of “It’s a trap” first. If you write “Star Trek,” then the correct answer is “It’s a trap!” which does not come from Star Trek.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
