Ever since 1980, sci-fi has generally been more Bladerunner than Star Wars. People talk about Star Wars being the most influential movie of all time and creating the blockbuster along with Jaws and that sort of thing, but really there's not been a space opera that anyone can go and see.

I think that's, in some ways, quite a nice thing, but it can be dangerous, too, because it can obviously be abused.
