Yeah, there's no doubt he was an innovator. Before Star Wars all sci-fi looked like crap. His designs were amazing.

Almost undoubtedly the second most important person when it came to the creation of Star Wars. Lucas couldn't find any studio willing to sign on until he had McQuarrie do his original storyboards. One pitch to 20th Century Fox later....
