Offhand I can't recall an Arthurian romance with spaceships. (And it seems like they all had falcon scenes).
No, it is not. SciFi is about how science and it's advances change humanity and culture. Star Wars is anything but that. Luke is taught to handle magic and a magic sword by an old wizard to save the princess from the black knight.
