Star Wars NOT science fiction? Not good science fiction, yes, but it is
most definitely science fiction. Check out "Space Opera", edited by
Brian W. Aldiss. SW fits that mold nearly perfectly. It isn't very good
space opera, but that's another tale.

As for "a long time ago" being an argument for SW to not be science
fiction, I'd like to know when science fiction was changed so that it
had to happen in the future (or even had to happen to humans!).
