  I think space opera can be sci-fi or fantasy? Star Wars is definitely fantasy tho.

    You’re right, though the melodrama and swashbuckling of Space Opera definitely lend themselves more towards the soft sci-fi/sci-fantasy end of the spectrum. Sort of, “if the characters and plots don’t need to bear much relation to the real world, why should the setting?”

    I’d argue Firefly, Cowboy Bebop, and also Trigun are more ‘Space Western’ than StarWars is.
