I think the best label for Star Wars is probably “Science Fantasy”. Personally, when it comes to this sort of differentiation, I draw the line at: is there magic?

Unpopular opinion of the day: "The Force" isn't any more magic than Betazoid telepathy, replicators, or transporters.

Q is more "magical" than anything in Star Wars.

even in Trek, it's openly acknowledged that there must be a scientific explanation for Q, even if it's beyond humanity's current understanding. they also mention several times that any sufficiently advanced technology would appear to be magic to those who lack the ability to rationally explain it.
