I hated the mystical part where some guy with an electric sword is faster than the guy with a full automatic blaster.
I don't care how fast you are, the physics of wiggling your finger on a trigger versus the physics of moving your arms and torso is a big deal regarding speed.
The thing that separates science fiction from fantasy is the fact that science fiction must obey known science, unless a plausible scenario can be formed to suggest science we don't know.
That's what science fiction is about. Now I could understand Jedi Mind Control if there were some electronic devices involved, but presented as some Godlike magical power such a story denies the very existence of science.
In the latest version of Star Wars they even deny common sense.
There's a guy who is ready to destroy the rebel troops at any cost and they are within his sight. But somehow his ships cannot catch their ships, his ship cannot shoot their ship, he can't send a missile at their ship, and he can't send his Fighters out to shoot their ship.
They have hyper Light Drive, but they can't jump ahead to the place where they know the rebels are going, and shoot back at them as they approach!
Finally when the Rebel Ship turns around to RAM them ( . . . what is this the freaking Peloponnesian War?) It is clearly in range for quite a long time and they still can't manage to blow it up. A passenger ship and they can't blow it up.
How in the world did these guys get to rule the entire galaxy? They don't have enough grasp of physics to work a stick shift Ford!
There used to be a broad notion that fiction was immoral. Then we came to accept fiction as acceptable entertainment long as it had a moral purpose to it.
Now we've come to produce fiction, that is no longer pretending that it's not totally immoral, and science fiction that is totally wrong about science.
When Gandalf the wizard waves his magic wand and strange things happen, you accept that in a fantasy.
Because the same thing happens in a spaceship doesn't make it science fiction. It's just a magician in a spaceship.
