I think the voters and list framers didn't separate the traditional genres of "horror", "fantasy" and "sci-fi" when voting for best _sci-fi_ characters. Sad, actually. > Well Star Wars is hardly SF... No, Star Wars is definitely SF. It's just terribly bad SF on certain levels. Under what genre would you classify Star Wars if not under SF?
