Considering Star Wars is a franchise of sci-fi, I always saw the force as this magical or spiritual entity, which explains why it's seen as a religion by the Jedi and Sith. Making it scientific was just answering a question that no one asked.

To your point of Star Wars being a Sci-Fi series, (i know you probably already got this and i'm nitpicking a little bit here, but) a better description would really be Science-Fantasy. Science-Fiction deals more with philisophy, ethical quandaries and things of that nature. Whereas Science-Fantasy is mostly just simple Fantasy in a futuristic or intergalactic setting.

Pure Sci-Fi tends to focus on things like technological and societal progress and present them in a prophetic and pragmatic way. It usually bases it's reality and rules on available scientific information/theory and practical (or at least probable) scenarios and tries to avoid any purely fictional or supernatural territory. Not that there's anything wrong with or neccessarily illogical about things like magic, spirits or The Force. It's just that most Sci-Fi stories focus as much on plausibility and technicality as they do on immagination and wonder (often times even more so).

In short, Science-Fiction deals mainly with ideas and subjects. Fantasy deals mainly with themes emotion. Science-Fantasy is a combination of the two.
