Anything's possible, I suppose. There might have been something waiting in the wings that would transform science fiction, but I don't see any evidence of anyone throwing a way genius scripts because of Star Wars. If anything, it was the opposite. Star Wars showed a science fiction movie could be a success.

And of course, the rest of the world doesn't share your extremely negative view of Star Wars.
