Because it has a basis in science , although they dumbed it down from the book.

I'm so fucking sick of "Zerb from the planet Glip-Glop seeks the mystic stone of Sacros" being call science fiction.

Star Trek, Star wars are not science fiction.

Star Trek literally started from ideas from 1940-1950s SciFi novels. I understand why star wars is more in the fantasy genre than anything, but I don't understand the need for gatekeeping lol
