Star Wars was fantasy in space. It didn't really get sci-fi elements until the EU, which is part of why the EU sucked so much.

Telepathy is absolutely sci-fi, especially in the 60s when psychic abilities were treated more like a pseudoscience. Psychic powers crop up in Dune in the same context.

The only reason the telepathy and telekinesis of the Force isn't really sci-fi as well is context - it's treated more like New Age magic and spiritualism rather than science.

The line between sci-fi and fantasy isn't the setting, the technology, or the powers people have. It's the way you're telling the story and what your intentions are. Sci-fi tends to tell intellectual stories that explore the implications of the universe being presented, often as a parallel to real world issues. Fantasy tends to tell emotional stories that echo the mythic tales of the past. Sci-fi wants to make you think. Fantasy wants to make you feel.

SciFi is when a cat human hybrid is a metaphor for mankind's arrogance, and Fantasy is when a cat human hybrid is a result of mankind's libido

Thought that was going to say "Fantasy is when you have a sword made of light because the author thinks it's cool." I definitely would have agreed with that.

"Sci-fi is when a cat human hybrid is a metaphor for mankind's arrogance, and Fantasy is when a cat human hybrid is a result of the author's fetishes."

Comics in general are fantasy, even if some nerds keep trying to force them into sc-fi.

Star wars is sci-fi with fantasy elements. Superheroes are their own thing, neither fantasy or sci-fi, though could have elements of either.

Finn and Poe were pretty much the definition of wasted potential in those films. There was so much to work with there, and they did almost nothing with it.

I feel that way especially with Poe, we clearly didnt get enough of him. He had amazing charisma and those two had great chemistry.

Part of the problem for him was that he was supposed to die in the crash in the first movie. They kept him alive because test audiences loved him, but they never knew what to do with him afterwards.

I was entirely ready for Poe/Finn gay buddy cop space adventures. Sadly, Rian Johnson hates joy.
