Actually, it's more likely the other way 'round. This aspect of Gollum's character in the movies is not that different than Gollum from the books, and the books not only pre-date Star Wars, but they in fact pre-date Star Wars creator George Lucas. For what it's worth, Lucas has admitted that The Lord of the Rings was an influence on his work. This is just an example of that.
