But these guys weren't just hired guns. They created a lot of the defining elements of Star Wars that people love so much. I'm in no way saying that Lucas doesn't deserve praise. He does. He set the train in motion. But a lot of other people were responsible for making Star Wars a success, sometimes in spite of Lucas. So to pull out the old "they're his movies" bit isn't entirely accurate.
Just had to get that off my chest.
great f'ing point. Lucas is the brand owner who had an idea and hired extremely skilled people to develop further products (original sequels) like all businesses do after he created the original product (ANH). too bad he didn't continue that process with the prequels.
