...the pull of Rome is strong. It is like the tractor beam in Star Wars.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, ehem, I'm pretty sure tractor beams are a feature of Star Trek and not Star Wars. So much for academic standards...

And Star Trek tractor beams are obviously better, because they're Star Trek and not Star Wars.
