He did have great collaborators, Walter Murch on THX and Graffiti, Haskel Wexler on Graffiti. Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck. On Star Wars, Graffiti, And Temple of Doom. Gary Kurtz should be given credit, as well as Marcia Lucas, And Charley Lippincott. David Prowse should have been treated better. We now know how much credit is due to Howard Kazanjian and his efforts. You could write volumes of books just on the effects artists and concept artists and how they made those Star Wars movies. An auteur no doubt, but surrounded by genius talent like John Dykstra, Ralph Mcquarrie, Joe Johnston.
Lucas didn’t do it on his own. He was the general, but the rest of the people did all the things to make his vision come to life.
Plus John Williams and Ben Burtt. So many others talents too, we would be here all day if we were to go through them and we would likely still miss out some people and their contributions.
I find it very weird that when some fans give praise or credit to the many different talents involved in making these films, other fans appear and say this is somehow criticizing or disrespecting Lucas.
