Nobody is arguing that he did, man ;-)

What I'm saying is that without those franchises created specifically by Lucas we'd probably have equally entertaining films perhaps comparable in subject matter.

Another way to think of it is if Edison didn't invent the light bulb, someone else probably would have done so later on. :)

Exactly. The problem is that GL has a perfectionist streak that goes against the preservation of these films. If SW was done by another person, maybe we would have the originals on Blu-ray by now, and there would be nothing to discuss.
