I read some of the Stars my Destination by Alfred Bester. Fascinatingly, the main character is completely unrelatable and nearly unlikable. His only purpose after being stranded in space for a very long time is to get revenge on the ship that wouldn’t save him. A very fascinating ability exist in this universe, where people can “jaunt” or teleport hundreds of miles as long as they know a location.
The most famous example of the Space Opera that everyone knows (everyone that matters, anyway) is of course, Star Wars. Star Wars is the definition of space opera.
Though I did grow up with star wars, I’m not a die-hard fan. Star Wars is full of inconsistencies and bad writing, especially the prequels.
