Star wars is not sci fi
It depends on your point of view and how strict you are about a genre.
If your a hard science purist, then nothing with psychic powers or faster-than-light travel will be science-fiction, because they depart from established science fact. If your looser with the definition, then you can include FTL on the basis of science that hasn't been invented yet, and psychic or mystical content on the basis of a stretching of science in the face of some logical framework that allows more subjective material to be studied.
In fact George Lucas moved Star Wars away from (at least) the mystical by inventing metaclorins and, in-effect, turning the force (which was mystical and sort of eastern) into a biomedical phenomenon (which is kinda western).
I'm not the type to wear blue face paint, stick pointy ears on, or know the Klingon alphabet. But I've seen every single Trek movie. I've watched all the shows, time permitting. I even endured 'Enterprise'.
wow...so you're the next level. I just couldn't take Enterprise, it actually physically hurt.
I've always thought Moon-Mars was a cynical political ploy to win a slice of the nerd vote
There's a nerd vote? cool!
in a free market education should be consumer driven (like anything else). schools providing better students will reap the benefits of higher royalties
...and in thirty years everyone will be studying advertising, 'cause it pays better than science ever will.
