Sure! I'd love to see a Space Opera with a "Quest" plotline! Which is: A person* sets out on a quest with a sidekick or two, they make a long journey and allies join the quest and help them dodge bad guys, when they get to their destination and achieve the official goal there's always a twist, and then they come home and change everything that needs changing.

"Battlestar Galactica" was an attempt at a proper quest, but it did fall apart halfway through. I'd like to see more, are there any other Quest space operas?

* Furiosa is the one who sets out of the quest in this story, Max is just carried along.
