Possibly; I don't really know how GR interacted with unions. Could setup the relationship by having late 70s Trek seek to use ILM for SFX (this could also help avoid the need for the company to be reformed).

If you wanted to take a less positive turn, 20th Century Fox thought Star Wars would be a failure in OTL. In a timeline where Star Trek is planning about a dozen TV movies in 77, this might go differently, and Lucas might not be in a position to have as much pull.
