Why is Dune even considered good sci-fi? It’s more fantasy than Star Wars. Except for maybe replacing the ornithopters with blimps, you could change everything to a pseudo-medieval setting and it wouldn’t change anything in the story.
Why is star wars science fiction when its closer to a mix of fantasy and spaghetti western? We have often chosen to classify works based in large part by their tropes and trappings. I think its a good work because it explores interesting themes, settings, and characters with the trappings and tropes of science fiction.
