Not in the least. I just meant that the general range of military actions feels about right (planetary scale). Still, the plot creates opportunities for plenty of close range combat, swashbuckling, etc.
Another nice plot hook for this is weather. Star Trek teletransportation only seems to work when it's plot convenient; otherwise there's "too much interference." I don't remember if Star Wars ever explains why the Empire doesn't just blow up the rebel base on Hoth from space; perhaps their sensors couldn't penetrate the snow...?
