Ok, other than that, read the rest of what it says.....

Stop nitpicking, star wars has all of the other space opera science fiction elements......

Fantasy is usually medieval/ancient

Science fiction is usually set during/in futuristic settings

But there are exceptions, such as futuristic fantasy stories, or ancient science fiction stories....... 

What if I write a story about time travel to the past??? Science fiction or fantasy???

Read that and you will see that Star Wars is a space fantasy and not science fiction. Only the prequels, which don't really exist and are just a bad nightmare anyway, became more sci-fi than fantasy. Which is another reason why the prequels just don't work as Star Wars movies.
