You know a relatively pleasant converstion can start to go astray with sparthawg

I rank science fiction authors differently than he does. I accept his system as being also valid

dont try and change how I rank them

I try tp explain the strange non-coincidence of the most prominent names from star wars also being present in the mars series (a series also about space princess' and sword fights in space with magic everywhere)

And he seems to get angry about it

Look, it seems pretty obvious george was inspired by the martian books

its odd that a book about princess' in space that has these words

banth, jed, sith.

that predated star wars

there is no way it isnt an influence, it doesnt need to be written in stone and brought down from the mountain top.
