Oh! A favorite topic!
In my opinion, sci-fi is still better. At least because it's easier to filter out the mediocre sci-fi... simply by looking at the summaries and authors. Lem, Harrison, the Strugatsky brothers? Bring it on, double the portion. "Death or Glory," "Dune"? Thank you, we'll give it a try. Some "super action movie"? Too much pathos, toss it! Fantasy is more complicated... Tolkien, McCaffrey, Sprague de Camp, Le Guin? Get it here immediately!!! But outside of this list... it's a problem! You can find something much better than "The Lord of the Rings," but you can also find something truly awful.
And the best thing is smart techno-fantasy... I've only encountered such wonders in the works of D. Chekalov; if anyone has any recommendations, I'll be grateful.
Regarding Star Wars. It's not Luke who rules. And not Revan. It's Han Solo and Jabba the Hutt, Cart Onasi and Etten Rand, it's Kyle Katarn... ordinary inhabitants of the "galaxy far, far away," full of color...
Star Wars loses its charm without Jedi... but not as much as the absence of Pirx diminishes Lem's works. And an excess of Jedi (and their philosophy) ruins the atmosphere of the FAIRY TALE... (its absence in parts 1 to 3 of the films is what prevents me from rewatching them - but I've seen episode 4 about twenty times).
