‘One of the more common misconceptions about “Star Wars” is the idea that creator George Lucas directed and wrote the entire original trilogy.
This is a rather odd thing to say, given that it literally says “Directed by Irvin Kershner” at the end. This seems like padding to make the article longer.
I thought the same in the late '90s/early '00s. I was a kid, though, and not a very bright one.
