Well, to be fair: I think that the reference was to the movie and NOT the original story (first published in 1976 of course), and that movie (1999) does post-date the original Star Wars.
On the other hand: WTF? How was that movie supposedly influenced by Star Wars? Well, aside from how--for good AND ill--the movie-making era does have a distinctive marker that could be labelled "Post-Star Wars" especially for science fiction-themed movies.
