Where's the scientific/technological aspect? Don't say in the spaceships, because Star Wars isn't sci-fi either.
A space opera setting does not make something sci-fi.
The difference between Sci-Fi and Fantasy as genres generally has nothing to do with the setting itself (regardless of what the average person thinks) and more to do with how and why a story is being told.
Sci-Fi tends to be about concepts and exploring the ramifications of scientific and technological advancements (even if the technology in question is relatively low-tech from our current perspective). Fantasy tends to be about characters and epic events. Sci-Fi wants the audience to think, Fantasy wants the audience to feel.
It's absolutely possible theoretically to tell a Sci-Fi story set in the Stone Age. And it's absolutely possible to tell a story with aliens and robots and spaceships and strange worlds and have it be Fantasy (and in fact, that's exactly what Star Wars is).
Star Wars is basically an epic fantasy with space wizard ronin samurai who use space magic. You could tell pretty much the entire story set on a single medieval world and all of the major story beats would be identical (just having different countries or regions instead of different planets, having horse-drawn carriages or magic carpets or flying brooms instead of spaceships, actual swords instead of lightsabers, etc). The story actually has more in common with Lord of the Rings than it does something like The Matrix or Robocop.
they only think in absolutes... and you know what they say about those who deal in absolutes...
The problem is that thing they say about those who deal in absolutes is itself an absolute statement.
