The covers don't reflect the essence of the book – I'm willing to argue this quite strongly. In the time when Lem's works were published, a different style of design was accepted. And if we're talking about Lem, there are about a dozen stories about Jon Tichy, for example, where you could put the most absurd picture on the cover.
Regarding Star Wars – it's not so much the fact of the Force that bothers me, but how it's presented to the reader. I'm not saying it's a hint of fantasy; I'm saying it's not typical for science fiction.
Do you reserve the right to judge? Well, I think further discussion on this topic is impossible – I'm somewhat conservative, so I won't judge a book by its cover – when you're dull, someone else's wisdom always comes to the rescue ;)
In general, science fiction has one characteristic – it embodies a materialistic point of view, where everything should have its explanation. And conversations about "destiny," "the chosen one," any fatalism – I believe all of this calls into question whether a work belongs to science fiction.

Но поскольку я нищий,
у меня лишь есть мечты.
Я разостлал свои мечты пред вашими ногами.
Ступайте бережно, ибо вы ступаете по моим мечтам.
