# It's not science fiction!
It's a fucking fairy tale in space!

Dark Lord kidnaps Princess
Wizard enlists hero to rescue Princess
Dark Lord uses dragon to destroy Princess's home
Hero rescues princess (but wizard gets killed)
Stuff happens
Good guys kill dragon and defeat Dark Lord

They both have their place, but which space operas you like sort of depends on how stinky you like your cheese.
