First off, Star Wars isn't Science Fiction. It's a Fantasy story. Secondly, Science Fiction has a long history of great stories - as does Fantasy. Third, if you think Star Wars set the bar insanely high for either genre of movies then you just haven't exposed yourself to quality examples from each.
