Lucas could have said, "...in a galaxy really, really, super-far away..." or something like that. No, merely "far, far away," sufficed, but apparently "Far away" wasn't quite far away enough. Note though, that Lucas did not say, "...in a galaxy far, far away that resembles the Milky Way..." There is no reason that the Star Wars galaxy would have to be anything like the Milky Way galaxy in form and size.

Then there is the "long ago" part.
