Star Wars

One of the most flawed films ever created by the likes of an incompetent man. Star wars is not a science fictions show because of all the technical inacuracies and the utter lack of detail and imposibility of its existance. Furthermore, its central theme, aside from the obviouse story line, is that the life of one individual, more or less born to a "noble" family, is worth any price, even the lives of billions.

The epic story of Star Wars is one that blatently points out Lucas' view on society. The life of one man, Skywalker, is worth the murder of billions of people and the destruction of entire planets. Furthermore, he is redeemed, completely, by thesaving of his son.

Star Trek

A television show originally spawned by Gene Roddenberry. It Is the greatest science fiction show ever produced. It, unlike nearly every other science fiction show or movie, relies on a cerebral approach to solve a poblem rather than a gun, something that is very twoubling in today's science fiction. Star Wars posesses a James Bond sort of quality of shoot, shoot again, shoot some more, blow up something, kill billions of people only to be redeemed by saving one.

It is a great travesty that after the murder of billions, Vader was redeemed by saving the life of one, his son, who also killed billions all in the name of an equally imperialistic cause. Star Trek would never allow that.

Utopia

A utopia is the ideal state of society in which every human need is adressed. The is no social or physical deprivity and humanity is free to grow and flourish at its leisure. There is no opression, war, poverty, famine, or social distress or racism. Although it is higly unlikely that humanity will reach a true utopia it is possible to better living conditions to be close to one.

It would be entierly possible to achieve a social state close to that of a utopia by the complete mechanization of labor and production. If all goods and services are produced by robots, humanity will be free from the maintenece of infrastructure and thus be able to rid itsself from all of the things mentioned above, something remenicient of the book Utopia by Issac Asimov
