Star Wars is just plain bad.
Now I KNOW you're trolling. Or would you care to state an argument some time today?
It's science fiction without science. Yay magic in outer space. Yay plot which is roughly equivalent to your average soap opera.
If there's no science, then you can't call it sci-fi, now can you? You're complaining that it isn't something that YOU claimed it to be.
"This dog sucks, it doesn't even meow!"
Even so, there is science in there, but not every sci-fi feels the need to explain every detail, it's called suspension of disbelief. You accept that the science of their universe works, and they don't have to waste valuable time hand-waving it away. Would you honestly be satisfied if they took the Star Trek approach and just tossed in some techno-babble every other line?
Also, yes, it is magic in space. That's kinda the point of the Force. The Jedi order is bodaciously a RELIGION, as are the Sith. You can honestly replace every use of the word "Force" with "God."
Lastly, soap opera? Maybe the prequels, yeah, but the original trilogy? You have ONE romantic subplot. ONE. The rest is about interstellar war between a rebellion and an oppressive empire, with each side led by an opposing religion.
