I really hate this

Fantasy and science fiction being cramped in the same section, which is already so small :(

Show me Exhibit A of the science in Star Wars.

I'll wait.

Do you gain anything by being so obtuse and purposefully missing the point? Besides feeling smart for 5 mn I mean.

Robots, aliens and spaceships are all common sci-fi elements. Them being actual science or not was not my point at all. Because again, most people don’t care about these technicalities. They just know these concepts are based on vaguely scientific concepts and pushed to the extreme of the unbelievable. How accurately they are handled in the story is irrelevant.

I'm still waiting to hear about the science in Star Wars. Do you gain anything by being so obtuse and purposely missing the point?

Then you’re gonna wait and repeat after me like a parrot for a long time pal, because I am not playing this game with you. I never pretended to care about actual science being present in Star Wars or not.

My whole point is that people don’t categorize genres like that. Robots, aliens, and spaceships seem superficially based on scientific concepts enough for Star Wars to be considered sci-fi by virtually everyone.

That’s it. That’s my whole point. Your fixation on actual science is irrelevant in that discussion.

Boy at this point I am genuinely starting to worry about your reading comprehension skills.

For the hundredth time: I never pretended to care about actual science in Star Wars. You are insisting on arguing about something that was never brought up by anyone except yourself. You are 'waiting' for answers to an argument that you made up yourself in your own head.

You: Show me the science in Star Wars.

Me: I never said there was science in Star Wars, that’s not my point.

You: Well, still waiting for this science in Star Wars!

Do you realize how incoherent and obsessive you look like?

So you agree, there is no science in Star Wars.

I am not gonna give you the validation you are very obsessively begging for.

Especially after being that obnoxious and unable to follow a very simple conversation.

Go "aktually" back and forth with someone else.
