Week Nine: Space Opera

Star Wars / Star Trek
When people think of Space Opera now they think of Star Wars. Star Wars is the perfect movie to represent space opera, if not just for the music. What I love most about the first Star Wars is all the puppet/prop work, I wish they still made movie props like they used too. Star Wars is a good pick for space opera but I have always been more of a Star Trek fan. My mother is a "treky" as she likes to call her self so I watched the show a lot as a kid. I think what appeals to me more about Star Trek is the stories are always changing, this makes the world seem almost endless to me. In the end there both great "space opera's" to look at. They both make you feel like maybe another world is possible, another life and a cool one at that ;)

Shards of Honor
This is the kind of story  I think of when the topic "space opera" comes up. Honestly It was a little boring for me, I need more violence maybe haha. Overall the read wasn't bad, and i think the story set out to do what it wanted to. Make another life in another world with cool stuff and of course bring the reader into the story.
