Comments on JediBot Robot Arm Senses The Force
How many novels can you think of that combine swords and robots? (Read
the complete story)
| "Krull is another example. I'm not a fan of Star Wars or other science fantasy stuff. I don't see Star Wars as sci fi, but sci fan, at it's heart it's a messianic fantasy, not really something specualtive. A universe where Good & Evil are real rather than poetic notions seems more backward looking & romantic than speculative. Not only is Wars full of fantasy elements (magic) it also takes a romantic rather than humanistic view of the human condition - there are 2 sides, and the characters try to be on the right side, the conflict is not deep or nuanced, or if it is, I'm not seeing it. To me it looks like cool special effects dressing up a boring story about space jesus. " (Kone 7/26/2011 8:58:54 AM) |
