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

Well the Force is magic but the droids, lightsabers, and ships are tech. I’d classify Star Wars as sci-fi because the overall aesthetic is futuristic. Fantasy for me would be modern day or older level of tech plus magic.
