Yep.
I never thought of Star Wars as science fiction either. Just a kids’ story/fantasy.
I actually seem to like “fluff-movies” more now that I’m older. When I was in high school and college, I was into the artsy stuff.
But now, when I watch something, it is for pure escapism - and a childish sci-fi flick is just perfect.
It isn't. It's a swashbuckler.
