Define the term "space opera". Be as explicit as possible. Provide examples from the genre in support of your definition.

Grand themes of saving civilization as we know it, complete with romance and heroism and death and great villains, set on a multi-planetary scale. Plan B and its antecedents by Lee and Miller, of course. The Mageworld series by Doyle and Macdonald. Star Wars (the first movie now known as A New Hope). The other five movies don't qualify as they don't have the quality required for great space opera. Wagner or Verdi with spaceships.
