In Hollywood, IDEAS are a dime a dozen, and it's the EXECUTION of those ideas, by a director, screenwriter, actors, cinematographer, cameramen, etc. that is the important factor. Lucas writes like a 4-year old and the only reason we're even having this conversation is because somehow he swindled the rights away from the studios.

If Lucas did not own the rights to the OT, he'd be way, way, way down the pecking order in terms of importance, somewhere between the gaffer and best boy.
