The Starfinder setting is def newer/less rich than some classic space opera settings, and has lots of weird fantasy elements that wouldn’t be out of place in Star Wars, inherited from the Golarion setting of Pathfinder (the canonical genesis of the futuristic SF 'verse). But in my limited experience with it, it’s definitely weird in the fun way, and lots of the substantial improvements that made their way into PF2E got their start in SF, so I do prefer it mechanically. It’s still crunchier than I dig at the table, but I bet it’s a blast in a videogame.
