Q: Could precognition explain the choreographed look of lightsaber duels?

@Marvin I've encountered many unexpected things while searching for story-IDs over the years, but that one is a first: my keywords led me to a paper theorising stuff on how science-fiction shapes science and society, not the other way around... written by a guy I had as an English teacher during my last year of studies.
From the looks of it though, the paper seems to be completely unhelpful in finding the forgotten authors, and as high as the man who wrote it :-)
