So, we’ve had the top ten sci fi villains, so let’s have a quick look at the top ten heroes from science fiction. I’m complining this list based on the following factors: 1. Universe saving – how many times has this hero saved the universe or their home planet or whatever? 2 Impact on the [...]
Perhaps most associated with Star Wars, the concept of empires in science fiction had been a sci fi trope for a long time before Star Wars and will no doubt continue to be used long after George Lucas has finally finished tinkering with the original trilogy.
