Can you really call Star Wars science fiction, though? It's really a Monomyth-inspired high fantasy, or at least aspires to be. I think if you call Star Wars science fiction, you have to call Lord of the Rings science fiction, too. Both have aliens, mysterious magical forces, play heavily on the concept of fate, etc. The only main difference, in my mind, is the aesthetic.
