This is my comment to 1977 being voted best year ever for sci fi because of Star Wars.
1977 really Star Wars a film that stole whole tropes from books that came before is beating out 1912. A year full of literature that started almost all the tropes that Star Wars used.
Do you people even know the joy of reading a story and letting your imagination fill your mind with the images that the words help you create or does everything have to be pre-visualized for you.
Sorry for the rant but Star Wars, I mean I saw it when it was first released when I was 16 and liked it. But I did not think it was the next best thing to oral sex like some of you guys do. It was enjoyable and still is but it is also derivative of E.E Doc Smith and a dozen other golden age space opera writers.
Maybe because I read sci fi since I was a kid during the Apollo years that Star Wars just did not have the impact on me, maybe if it was the first sci fi I every saw but nope it wasn't.
