ThePantserSci-fi is fiction with science and could be reality
Fantasy is fiction with magic that you wish was reality
Space fantasy.
You need to drop the science part.

Read more of the books, there’s plenty of science lol.
Well that’s not at all the same thing
Why not? What definition are you using for science fiction, because if Star Wars isn’t fiction, than neither is Star Trek, they have more or less the same fake technology, they both have strange powers, hive minds exist, aliens, cyborgs, AI, the list of comparisons go on.
So what’s the metric you are using?
I don’t agree. Yes it’s fantasy but the “science” term there comes directly from “science fiction”
That is to say, “science fiction” means “fiction but taking into account at least some level of scientific understanding”
While “science fantasy” means “fantasy but with the trappings of science fiction”. It’s a perfectly good name for the genre
The phrasing is similar and it uses the same word, but a different route to get there.
Edit: on the other hand hand username checks out. Maybe I just fell for the bait.
Are you suggesting that nothing in Star Wars is based on science? Than Star Trek isn’t fiction either, phasers, teleportation, grav generators. Oddly enough, those exist in both universes. The only fantasy about Star Wars is the force, and that’s an analogy for religion.
Yet Star Trek has telekinesis, telepathy and other outwardly abilities, just like Star Wars! Do you notice a trend yet…?
