I really hate this

Fantasy and science fiction being cramped in the same section, which is already so small :(

So basically what you're saying that it's SciFi inspired by fantasy, which means it's just SciFi

Or, and hear me when I say this, I am exactly saying, "I don't think it's useful to say it is one way or another, I think it is pretty clearly a mix of the two." Science fantasy would be a much more apt description, in my opinion.

Science fantasy is redundant when SciFi already exists. These two words are the same, you just want to shoehorn fantasy where it doesn't belong

So there's no difference between fantasy and fiction? All fiction is fantasy? I don't understand your point. And are you also saying that George Lucas, the guy who wrote the thing, is shoehorning fantasy where it doesn't belong?
