>(P.S. Has there ever been a Sci Fi Western?)

You bet!  The silliest Science Fiction movie I have ever seen was
"Battle Beyond the Stars" staring what's his name who played John-Boy on
"The Waltons".  BBtS was much like a space opera version of "The
Magnificent Seven":  young boy gathers band of interplanetary misfits to
save boy's planet from evil space baron.  All in all, a pretty worthless
film, although I did like the unibeing, Nestor.
