    Yes, I agree with this. I’ve thought about this before, and Star Wars doesn’t really qualify as “Science Fiction”, because we never learn about the science of anything. It’s just there - part of the scenery. That’s the fantasy aspect; we’re not thinking about realism or how things work, we are just fantasizing about a cool futuristic space setting with space magic and swords with blades made of light.
