Would we have seen a Star Trek film in 1979 without Star Wars in '77?
As many of you might be aware, after the smash hit success of Star Wars, science fiction films, thought to be a mostly dead genre, suddenly started popping up all over the place. One such film was Star Trek I: The Motion Picture.

What impact did Star Wars have on 80's science fiction in general and the resurrection of Star Trek as a similar franchise?

Or is this a mere coincidence?

Consider that the Star Trek franchise used Industrial Light and Magic for special effects in every film, a studio created by George Lucas.

Wow, out of one cult and into the next.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind also came out in '77 and was another Sci Fi pic that did well and is mentioned by Shatner as another influence in pushing for a film vs TV version. And Hollywood is just full of people who try to put forth something if it proves to be hot.

But Star Trek was coming back one way or another, and there would have eventually been a motion picture. But no doubt the success of sci fi movies in the late 70's helped the studio jack up the budget to get the film version made...

Actually, without Star Wars, there would have been no "Battle Beyond the Stars" and about 50 other low budget Sci-Fi movies in the late 70's, early 80's.....

I think the more appropriate question is "Would there have ever been a Star Wars if it weren't for the original Star Trek series?".

You're missing the point. None of that has anything do with 1979.

Absolutely. George was inspired by the classic serials of his childhood, including Buck Rogers.

Look, I loved both the Star Trek series/movies and the Star Wars movies. But for anyone to insinuate that the Star Trek movies rode the coat tails of Star Wars is just idiotic. As a sci fi fan, I'm just glad both were allowed to be created. I've enjoyed them all.
