According to hard core SF people, 99% of TV SF is fantasy.
Trek was Wagon Train in space, and Treknobable was always goofy, but they mostly stayed within the “science” of the Trek universe.

I’ve debated with students of mine who (oddly) insist that the Star Wars franchise is “sci-fi”.

No. It’s space opera with elements of sword and sorcery and sci-fi. It’s a gussied-up modern take on Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe.
