even in Trek, it’s openly acknowledged that there must be a scientific explanation for Q, even if it’s beyond humanity’s current understanding. they also mention several times that any sufficiently advanced technology would appear to be magic to those who lack the ability to rationally explain it.
I think the best label for Star Wars is probably “Science Fantasy”. Personally, when it comes to this sort of differentiation, I draw the line at: is there magic?

Off the top of my head, maybe four or five episodes. Not a lot, but it’s definitely there. Star Trek writers were very good with visual and literary metaphor.
See: Garak and Bashir
It’s a Christmas miracle! You actually made me laugh at those episodes!
That vaguely covers about 1/9 or 1/8 of Star Trek episodes.
And that’s a lot
I have that button 😊
I hit it a lot
They tried, but it’s kind of bullshit and magic anyway
