just in the sense that the story isn't remotely concerned with it, it's set dressing to what was a fantasy story all along.

not that I'm expecting an engineering treatise but like, you could plop star wars down in a High Fantasy setting with *zero* friction. laser swords become swords, space ships become ship-ships, X-wings become cavalry, droids become golems, holograms become magic mirrors, death stars become Evil Volcano Death Rituals, data drives become secret runes, wizards knights stay wizard knights. it's not about ~the future~ or science in any way, it's about magical adventures.

Does a story have to be focused on tech to be sci fi? I thought the only essential difference between sci-fi and traditional fantasy was the setting

If the only difference between sci-fi and fantasy were set dressing, then hardcore SF fans wouldn't ghettoize fantasy as feminine drivel.

Pretty much. Then there's the "hard science fiction" fetishists who reduce the "fiction" part to "pot-fueled speculation about what's in Popular Mechanics last month."

It's hard for me to take that viewpoint seriously, though...
