Science fiction is based in reality and usually just extrapolates what we know is scientifically possible, just not with current technology.
Star Trek is science fiction.
Fantasy really just follows the rule of cool. If it’s cool, throw it in.
Star Wars is science fantasy.

Might want to qualify that as if there’s a magic/ special sword.

On the one hand, you are correct. On the other hand, whoooosh. Don’t feel bad, there are many who got whooshed in this thread.

Absolutely 100% wrong.
Star Wars is ancient fantasy, it happened A LONG TIME AGO in a galaxy Far far away

Of course, they don’t say how long ago that is. I mean the 1920s kind of seems like a long time ago.
And all galaxies are far, far away.
