[QUOTE="JPL, post: 3446327, member: 1964"] I'm liking all of these changes. Of course Star Wars heroes have a decent shot at defusing a bomb. One lucky shot by a farmboy blows up the Death Star and you think the bombs are going to be hero-proof? No, sir. Now, to get to that bomb, you will have a lot of people shoot at you and miss, you will have to travel to strange lands and face terrible dangers and survive by the skin of your teeth with the help of unlikely allies thrown together by Fate. You might even kiss your sister in a weird way. But once a Star Wars hero goes through all of that, he will be able to defuse that bomb, whether it's Yoda or Jar-Jar. Maybe one of the differences between science fiction and space fantasy is that in the former, there's at least some lip service to laws of physics and engineering. In the latter, it's just cool special effects that dress up a timeless tale of heroism and derring-do. [/QUOTE]
