    Yes, it’s science fantasy. I mean that’s what I also meant by sci fi and fantasy being under the same category in many countries and languages.

    Sci fi is not about scientific accuracy. It was born in the time of scientificism, of science as a mystical force almost. Sci fi is more about space lasers and robots than science.

    Hard sci fi that actually takes science into account is a later development.

    Star Wars is closer to the “traditional” sci fi ideas than hard sci fi. And that’s the only thing I was saying.
