   Nope. Shatner was talking about the movies ... without Star Wars, it's   
   unlikely there would have been any Star Trek movies (at least way back   
   then).

   Nope, absolutely nothing to do with Star Trek. Star Wars was George   
   Lucas' attempt at making films like the old serials he saw in the   
   cinema as a kid: Tarzan, Flash Gordon, etc.. He originally wanted to   
   make a Flash Gordon movie, but couldn't get the rights.
