Yes but this is like saying the mystique of a beautiful sunrise is ruined by that fact that man now knows what outer space looks like. I don't see that revealing 'the machinery' has ruined the mystique just changed it.
The 'responsibility' of the storyteller is maintaining continuity and consistency. That point, here, is one to be argued, and it's still ultimately a matter of opinion. I still maintain mine for the time being.
And no, Han Solo, I don't wish to persue it further (see the above). Arguing the semantics of what's in conclusion, somebody else's fictional 'vision' seems a bit pointless in the scheme of things. I'm just saying that I'm one of the few Star Wars viewers that doesn't mind that plot addition.
I'm sure that's allowed, though you don't have to like it.
