Oh very much so.  Traveller was originally released shortly after the 
first Star Wars Movie (now called Episode IV), and had that movie's pulp 
spirit at heart.

Traveller is a fine vehicle for Space Opera.

In addition to Space Viking, and Mr. Piper's other fine works, also try 
E.E. "Doc" Smith's Lensmen series.
