Oh it will remain popular with its fans, just like Trek. Im talking about the public perception. Allow me to reiterate:

1960s - Star Trek takes the world by storm, becoming a rousing success. 1970s - Star Trek was cancelled, Star Wars takes the world by storm on its release in 77. Motion Picture nearly kills Trek for good. 1980s - RoTJ is lackluster compared to Empire. Wrath of Kahn revives Star Trek. Next Gen hits. 1990s - Best of Both Worlds leads to TNG becoming bigger than its predecessor. DS9 and Voyager premiere. The TV shows all die by the end of the decade however, just as Episode I takes the world by storm. 2000s - The prequels have enormous financial success while Enterprise becomes the first trek spin-off to be cancelled. 2010s - The recent unanticipated success of the new Star trek movie has seen the public focus shift back to Trek.

Basically this will be the first time Trek and Wars are actively competing for public attention. Traditionally only one has been in ascendance, mainly due to availability.
