What's your Sci-Fi unpopular opinion?

First of, let's suppose that Star Wars is sci fi. Secondly, my greatest gripe with it is that the light side and dark side make zero sense as a mechanic and only as an ideology. AND as an ideology, it also makes little sense. By establishing that there is a good side and a bad side, and establishing that you must be one of them, you necessitate that there will be bad guys. All it takes is to indoctrinate a child into thinking "I must be good, for if I am not then I am evil" to literally create more evil people. I had hoped that the sequels would address this with Luke and they only led to catastrophic disappointment

I tried Ilium and took a break after the many pages long exposition on a naked teenager at the beginning and then never had the energy to go back. Should I try again?

Hyperion is my number one sci fi of all time and I need to know if I'm missing out
