Only Star Trek fans that think it being science fiction makes it better than space fantasy keep saying that. But really both Star Trek and Star Wars are space fantasy, with Star Trek being more fantasy than Star Wars. It’s basically Homer’s Odyssey but with space ships. They’re constantly meeting magical beings that put them into moral quandries.
In Star Wars there’s only one magic, and in canon it’s the result microscopic organisms that can be measured with technology. Yes it’s treated as a religion, but science fiction is about how things affect a society, and people having mind powers probably would be considered like a religion. It’s actually strange that (other than the Bajorans) nobody in Star Trek develops religions around the magical powers ever other alien race has.
star trek is star wars but with more stem relevancy/ potential theoretical future application, while star wars is sci fi with drama and has Magic/ metaphysics, not the same, which scifi abhors using in thier drama. star wars is more closer to MCU/dcu(where there is magi-tech, a little of unexplainable science plus the christian god themes) than star trek actually.
Star Wars does have more than one sorta mystical religions too. It’s not just relegated to the force or mideochloreans. The Nightsisters of Dathomir have their own magic (makes them force sensitive as well) they get from the planet itself; is a good example of this.
