It is 'it'. And their world also looks real. It is other world for me. It looks so sure, that I feel this world perhaps really exists somewhere.. far.. far away. This world is based on sci-fi plus a few fantasy. But fantasy elements are not in conflict with my vision of our real world. For example, I don't know if the Force is real or not. Perhaps the Force is real, but nobody in our real world know about it yet.

And here is why I don't like SE. SE breaks 'it'. Some SE changes are so unreal, that returns me to our real world from feeling Star Wars world, because remembers me that Star Wars in not a real story but is just a show for amusement. I can say the same about some other movies that I like a few, but can't feel them as a real worlds because of too unreal elements.
