Space Fantasy is a literary and cinematic genre mixing the themes of science fiction (especially the Space opera) and Fantasy. Then, it can be seen as a subgenus of these two genres.
The Space opera side places the stories into space or at a planet surface. The Fantasy side brings supernatural themes like magic, fantastic creatures…
In short, the Space Fantasy is about orcs and dragons travelling in spaceships 🙂
