'''Space Opera''' is a branch of [[Setting Aesthetics]] that applies equally well to Sci-fi or [[Science Fantasy]]; spiritual heir to the old school [[Sword_%26_Sorcery#Sword_.26_Planet|Sword & Planet]] genre, it's basically Sword & Planet where the focus is on traveling between a whole galaxy of fantastical worlds, rather than just adventuring on a single alien planet. Proudly on the "soft" end of the sci-fi hardness scale, technology is just a trapping to further the telling of an epic adventuring story - many great Space Opera stories are just [[Heroic Fantasy]] or [[High Fantasy]] stories with science fiction aesthetics.

The term used to be purely derogatory, but after the success of [[Star Wars]], it was reclaimed as a neutral, even positive term.
