Star Wars is more correctly identified as "Space Opera"
True science fiction is based on science, such as Asimov's works robotics or even most of Interstellar (until the end).

Science Fiction doesn't have to be set in the future.

The question to me is not past, present or future...it is fiction or non fiction

Sure a few tropes would fit there like the cantina and bounty hunters.

I always thought it was categorized as space fantasy/science fantasy.
