What exactly is a 'Space Opera'?

What exactly is a 'Space Opera'?

Stupidity without the soap?

In the case of Star Wars, F.A.N.T.A.S.Y.  :D

Quit bothering her Hades. I will have to whip your ass.

S&M Goths are so last season.

Totally.

Several websites are passing along spurious internet rumors regarding Star Wars Galaxies. Rest assured, these rumors are completely untrue.

 

LucasArts and SOE have no plans to

What exactly is a 'Space Opera'?

 

I already explained that. To some degree.

 

It's when characters in a sci-fi space story have musical scores just for them. Luke's theme(when he looks at the 2 suns of Tatooine), Vader's theme, the imperial march, etc. Each piece of music is a theme for a character or group.

 

Wiki's : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Opera

 

Their description is ok but it describes to much Star Wars without mentionning music. This is not my opinion by the way but I read multiple times that music is an integral part of a Space Opera, specifically the themes.

 

However, Star Wars is the first and to my knowledge the only Space Opera so I guess Wiki's description is pretty accurate.

I see, Leitmotif is space. It's still a silly denomination though, wouldn't that make any film with a similar sound track an 'Opera' as well?

Yes. But no. Because it's Hollywood we're talking about and they live in their own little universe where sense rarely makes anything make sense.

 

Basically it sounded cool methinks...

No. Your knowledge is incomplete, e.g.: Flash Gordon.

Sorry, but I don't swing that way, Llyr.

You're not really one to go on about alternate accounts there bub. :(

At least I'm honest about it.

RIP

I am afraid you are wrong on that one COF.

Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Yeah, I guess not telling the moderators who I was so I wouldn't be banned again was really dishonest. :(

 

I thought Alt accounts weren't allowed for anyone but moderators though. Why does Deadly_Nightshade/Lilandra get one?

They are two totally different people, trust me. I know Lilandra personally.
