Star Trek? Let's say Gene Roddenberry died in a car accident, so there is no Star Trek in 1967. How does that POD change Stars Wars in 1977? Would there be any difference at all? Defend your answer!
No difference. There was no Star Trek influence on the development of Star Wars.
Except that one of the main reasons that Star Wars was so successful was that it broke out of the Sci-fi niche market and into mainstream pop culture.well actual your wrong. Star Trek played no real important role in making of Star Wars but Star Trek did play a role in the media. In the 70s Star Trek was huge. The 70s was the era of Sci-Fi boom. If it was not for Star Trek then the Sci-Fi geeks would have never been around to see Star Wars in the first place.
So hence Star Wars would have tanked in the first move due to lack of interest.

I don't think it would have been made in the first place. Before Star Trek Science Fiction was largely seen as pulp era crap like Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers.
....which were Star War's main inspiration.![]()
Star Trek was only a not-so successful three season series that had not had much mainstream impact at this point. You could in fact argue that it was the success of Star Wars that enabled the Star Trek movies to be made.
