Science fiction is based in reality and usually just extrapolates what we know is scientifically possible, just not with current technology. They can usually explain how stuff works because it’s based on real science to some degree.

Star Trek is science fiction.

Fantasy really just follows the rule of cool. If it’s cool, throw it in. It’s based on nothing but what the writer thinks is cool as shit.

Star Wars is future fantasy.

Absolutely 100% wrong.

Star Wars is ancient fantasy, it happened A LONG TIME AGO in a galaxy Far far away

Of course, they don’t say how long ago that is. I mean the 1920s kind of seems like a long time ago.

And all galaxies are far, far away.

The best rule: It’s fantasy if there is a sword.

Might want to qualify that as if there’s a magic/ special sword.
