Star Wars voted best sci-fi flick ever
Star Wars has been voted the best science fiction film of all time.
The 1977 classic topped a poll for having the best robot – R2-D2 – the best alien, Yoda, and the greatest hero, Han Solo.
The George Lucas-directed movie also won praise for having the greatest villain – Darth Vader.
"Star Wars is basically a great western put into outer space," said Scott Robson, head of movie listings service Moviefone, which conducted the survey that garnered 334,000 responses.
The film’s signature catchphrase, "may the force be with you", beat out such iconic classics as The Terminator’s "I’ll be back," and "E.T. – phone home".
Voters said the worst sci-fi movie was Battlefield Earth, the John Travolta flick about a group of humans fighting extinction by a race of aliens.
