Yeah this is exactly right. The original Star Wars movies would not have been the way it was were it not for his wife (at the time) Marcia Lucas changing the script up and editing the first and last movies in the trilogy (I believe it was her idea to kill Obi-Wan on the Death Star in the first place). You also have Irvin Kershner who was responsible for directing Empire Strikes Back and Lawrence Kasdan who helped write Empire as well as Return of the Jedi (though with less input in the latter leading to RotJ being the worst of the trilogy in a lot of ways). And finally Gary Kurtz who had massive input in the first two movies.Star Wars (the original trilogy) was the result of multiple elements, not just Lucas. I know people always credit the editing room, but just looking at the various people instrumental to it's creation... I doubt it would have become the cultural phenomenon without them.
