[A Black Falcon]

I dunno, Chewbakka being in a love triangle with the ewoks and R2D2 (who by the way represents Satan), we the casuals are lost.

I don't have a clue what you're talking about here.

You never even explained what scene you are talking about! Just tell me what you are talking about, and stop acting like one of those "well if you don't know I'm not going to tell you" people.

But its fun... :D

Yeah, but really though, why isn't magic considered sci fi? It's a completely fictional way the universe works, and if Q and the force is considered sci fi all other types of magic should be sci fi too.

As for fantasy, anything that is a fantastical adventure is a fantasy if you ask me. If people fantasize about going on that adventure, or if it's not a real world but one imagined, why isn't fantasy a good word? I think it all goes back to nerd semantics. Only a bunch of the geeks would be coming together to say a fantasy isn't a fantasy unless there is magic or something assanine like that.

Fantasy generally means, as I sure hope you know, medieval settings, magic, other races, etc... and while it and sci-fi are admittedly similar (like how fantasy and sci-fi are often shelved together in bookstores, etc) they aren't the same... sci-fi can include more 'realism' -- it attempts to explain how the (generally futuristic) world that its in operates the way it does. Fantasy does somewhat, but relies a lot more on mystical energies and stuff like that... without the science.

Oh, and as for them as genre labels, its like any genre label -- it doesn't completely fit but it's the popularly chosen one so that's the way it is. Fantasy is medieval-magic and sci-fi is futuristic.
