Star Wars is only as soft as you're willing to suspend your disbelief on the explanations.

I prefer BSG, they don't even try to explain.

I don't really mind "soft" SciFi.
It's science fiction for a reason, everything does not need exact explanation and numbers, then it'd just be science.
But yeah, Star Wars is pretty much the definition of soft SciFi.

Star wars ain't science fiction.


It's science fantasy.

Don't tell anybody, but to this day I have a faint hope for Futurecraft, or something similar to it, to happen. Within my lifetime.

Star Wars is a space opera. The characters, plot, etc. are more important than the concepts, meaning that things that wouldn't work do work because they're cool if you don't try to think about them.

Wow, sounds just like the RP forum sans major physics revisions.
