I think that, as much as anything, the fans have caused the "downfall" of both ST and SW. With all the *****ing and complaining that they (broad generalization here) do, it affects everyone to a certain extent. It may seem stupid, but if one person in a group says "This sucks", the rest of the people in said group are more likely to re-evaluate their opinion, and lower it. Also, both ST and SW have suffered from poor management, writing and casting over the years...though the Original Series didn't exactly have the best cast possible...
I too didn't really enjoy the finale of Enterprise...at the very least they could have destroyed the ship, that would have been a new thing for ST...destroy the good guys!
