The lecture about the genre of science fiction was fun. I mean what would be a better topic for a room full of animators an FX people? Maybe some science fiction with more bare skin?
The thing with science fiction is that it can encompass all other genres. Depending on the film it can be anything.

Looking at the history of Sci-Fi it is clear that a lot of the material has a deep philosophical theme. The most popular subject is of the fight between man and machine. It is always popular as our lives are getting more and more dependable on technology. Bill mentioned the case of Luke being able to destroy the Death Star only by rejecting technology and relying on his instincts and the Force, which is mother nature herself. He also mentioned Luke having an orgasm at the time, which in retrospective i can almost agree with and laugh out loud (no i did not say LOL).
