Star Wars is a hybrid of science fiction and fantasy because it contains space travel while pure fantasy like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings is about magic.
That is a good question. Not really other than the fact that the Star Wars Canon is in the same parallel universe where England becomes a Catholic monarchy again but that takes place billions of years after the events of Star Wars and that the events cause a chain of events, that affect events that happen billions of years later.
is GALACTIC FANTASY. it has nothing to do with science fiction.

No. Star ward is GALACTIC fantasy mythos. Science Fiction implies that the characters aren't mythological heroes bound by some "dark and light" morality quest.
Nothing in stars wars is realistic while star trek in theory is nornal people in a grey moral world with advance technology .
Science fiction is also Cyberpunk or even steampunk but not fucking jedis, the force, siths and unrealistic aliens.
Do you consider Warhammer 40k science fiction ?
