"First of all, I want to tell you that Star Wars created Star Trek. Did you know that?" he said. According to the actor, each season for the 1966 series could be the last, and as a result, after three years it was closed. And only the tremendous success of the movie "Star Wars: Episode 4 - A New Hope" made the creators of "Star Trek" think about its revival. "Paramount was frantically trying to figure out what to do next? How can we respond to Star Wars? But we already have one good project! We have abandoned it even with a different management team. It was called Star Trek. "? Let's try to reanimate him!" - Shatner explained.
