I would say the Star influenced Apple. They saw how bad it's sales figures were and said "Let's not do THAT!" and then noticed they had built the Lisa to target essentially the same market with the same "task based software" (i.e. - limited 3rd party apps) strategy. The comparative failure of both the Lisa and the Star in terms of sales figures most certainly should have raised the profile of the Mac within Apple's executive ranks.
