This debate is pointless.
Lucas deserves even more of the blame for the fact that Anakin (and other things) needed fixing. Doesn’t particularly matter how much credit he should get for fixing things (or even if that was successfully done); it’s like crediting someone for partially filling a hole in when they dug the hole themselves in the first place.
Aye. You nailed it, mate.
(I also read your post in the voice of Tarkin) 😉
