If it's not your taste, it's not your taste. But the 'fantasy' genre exists simply because it allows one to tell an archetypal story in a way that can reach so many.
Would Star Wars still work if you told the same story as a modern day mob movie? Meh, maybe. But would you have seen it when you were 6 and still love it at 40? I doubt it.
That said, Star Wars borrows largely from epic Kurosawa films which probably come closer to a fantasy-ish genre than most others.
