Also Wikipedia places Star Wars in the space opera sub-genre of science fiction

Ahem! Here's what Wilson Tucker, the man who coined the term "space opera", has to say about it: "In these hectic days of phrase-coining, we offer one. Westerns are called "horse operas," the morning housewife tear-jerkers are called "soap operas," For the hacky, grinding, stinking, outworn space-ship yarn, or world-saving for that matter, we offer "space opera."

So? That doesn't change a thing you big commie (sorry, couldn't help myself ). Anyways, "space opera" is no longer a pejorative term.
