re: Scifi fans, do you look down Star Wars and do you consider it to be scifi?

I don't think people look on soft SciFi as bad or wrong. It's just a different flavor of the genre and where fantasy and scifi bleed together.
Not everything needs to Known Space levels hardness or above.

Saw a western a couple of weeks ago named "Backlash'.1956 starring Richard Widmark and Donna Reed (very hot in jeans). Same story as the first 3 Star Wars movies. Widmark was searching for his father, helped by Reed (Princess Leia), who in the end turned out to be an evil guy and Widmark could not bring himself to kill him. The good rancher (the Rebel Alliance)does the deed at the end.

It's not futuristic, Star Wars took place "A long time ago in a Galaxy far far away" and to Quote Arthur C. Clarke "Magic's just science that we don't understand yet"

Wasn't "Dune" a sci fi novel first?
First before what?

First, before it became a major motion picture and the franchise that it is today. Wait . . . I don't know whether "Dune" really is a "franchise" these days or not.
But it was a humble sci fi novel before it hit the Big Screen.

Yes there were like 5 novels by the original author, but still lots of fantasy / magic type elements in them. Those I think were written in 60s or 70s, so sort of the 2nd wave era of the sci fi / fantasy genre
