I know E. E. Smith from the [i]Lensman[/i] series, but I’m not a fan or anything. He might be famous for something else, I don’t know.

The thing is [i]Star Wars[/i] was the first real space adventure film. In 1977 nobody had seen anything like that, it was unprecedented.

[i]Star Wars[/i] is great because it has mythic and spiritual elements that [i]Lexx[/i] doesn’t have (neither do most sci-fi movies). They’re really not comparable, since they’re very different types of movies. They appeal to different parts of the psyche, and somewhat different audiences (the [i]Star Wars[/i] films appeal to viewers of all ages, [i]Lexx[/i] isn’t really made for anyone younger than 9 or 10). I’m not sure they’re really applicable to side-to-side comparison.
