Just because Lucas stupidly CONSIDERS himself the sole creator of the Original Trilogy, doesn't make it so. He's no different than any other Producer/Exec. Producer who gets the money for the movie and organizes the talent... with the ONLY difference being that he also owns the rights.

So no, I don't see much different between Ted Turner and George Lucas, and I think it's quite insipid to consider Lucas the creator of the Star Wars Trilogy, any more than Albert S. Ruddy *created* The Godfather, or Lawrence Bender *created* Pulp Fiction.

Give me a break.
