Between Star Trek and Star Wars, I'd classify Wars as feather pillow level soft. Star Trek at least makes an attempt to explain things with make-believe science.

Star Wars has princesses, heroes, evil empires, and forgotten magical powers; it's heroic fantasy but in space instead of a pseudo-mediaeval setting. I guess that's why people call it "Space Opera" rather than sci-fi!

Star Wars is a space opera fantasy western.

It is decidedly and deliberately NOT sci-fi
