Harlan Ellison would say Star Wars is "Sci-Fi", but not "Science Fiction".https://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1309147923964407808 …

I honestly have no idea what would actually qualify as science fiction in Ellison's mind, like I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM certainly doesn't feel like hard science fiction

Ellison himself kind of ended up giving in to that, saying the stories he was interested in shouldn't even be called "science fiction" but instead "speculative fiction" or "spec fic" You still hear that sometimes but it didn't really catch on
