Star Trek was classic 60's sci-fi. Star Wars was classic 70s/80s sci-fi. My opinion is there is no comparison between the two because of that.
I see it more a TOS being a western in space. Like most space sci-fi of that time.
I don't see Star Wars as being classic anything, really. Everything Lucas wrote was taken from The Joseph Campbell library or the Opus archives. Classic mythology, actually. Just rewritten with a space theme. Pretty well documented in that regard.
