why science fiction is great

short 3 part documentary that examines the roots and social commentary science fiction gives us.
parts one and two are the best showing that good science fiction is not always about green aliens from mars but instead science fiction provides a backdrop for important and relevant social commentary of moral or cultural issues.
part three is an examination of why star wars fails to provide strong social commentary and is thus a poor example of science fiction and instead a fantasy story.
