Living in a world with one dominating species is, well, boring.
lol But the chances that we live in a universe like the Star Wars one are very, very small. Or should I better say they are at zero? But the funny thing about all that is that sci-fi often ends up in science. It's the visions that make people search for the truth and invent new things. But these things that we can only find and not invent, like foreign life found its place in sci-fi, too. So that makes people believe that this foreign life must be something like us with a mouth and ears,... and a communication similar to ours. I think that's the only big difference between science and sci-fi. The visions are there in both of them but often sci-fi leaves the path of science.

P.S. @ Mike: Can you really know?
