Yes, and Lucas probably thaught that certain changes in the original trilogy for de '97 special editions were right or good as well, but alot (and I mean ALOT) of people disagree with him on that.

What I mean with fantasy or "fantastical elements" are for example monsters, trolls, elves, dragons, knights, magicians, dwarfes, wizards, barbarians, kings, etc...

Under the term "sci-fi" I would think of spaceships, high tech, highly evolved technology, lazers, space, future, etc...

I believe that star wars fits the second categorie better, sure it is fantasy, but it is a sci-fi in the first place. star wars got more in common with movies like "event horizon", "star trek", "alien", etc.. than with Harry Potter or LOTR.
