Yawn... if you want to be picky rather than look at what the general reader/viewer is considering then it's totally derivative, plagiarising eye candy - that doesn't alter the fact that the majority of the people who've seen SW, think it's SF - and that's what I was referring to in my comment - PERCEPTIONS which people have, not picky SF geekery about what this item is or isn't, just that SF encompasses far, far more than most people say/know/care...
