Nothing in Star Wars description of the force would mark it as more "supernatural" than any menipulatable "energy field" of any other science fiction. Star Trek is replete with beings and energy field more transcendentally powerful than "the force". No one said Star Trek proposed anything supernatural.
That's right. It's just the attitude towards it that is different. If Obiwan had said "what's the force? oh that is just a fancy name for modulating the tachyonic frequencies of the subspace matrix, and usually it's done by diverting positronic energy to the main deflector shield, but some people who have reached the next evolutionary level can do it just by concentrating real hard", it would be Star Trek.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
