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.

Only movies that featured Peter Strauss, Molly Ringwald and Robert Urich. If the guy ever actually read a science fiction novel and understood the tenets of the genre he would understand the difference between science fiction and a space opera.

Keep it simple GoChiefs - start with "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card. It has lots of simple sentences and one syllable words.

This isn't about science fiction and space opera. I'm fully aware of that. And I've read plenty of "real" science fiction.
