Actors would change lines of dialogue with Harrison Ford saying that Lucas can write the stuff but there is no way to act it. Too bad nobody followed that advice on the prequels.
By the time of Return of the Jedi, some of that poor creative instincts of George came back with the Ewoks, etc.
The concepts in Star Wars are also just George's recycling of Flash Gordon, Kurosawa movies, and Dune.

Yeah but so what? Just because George kinda sucks doesn’t make the original trilogy any less spectacular, amazing or worthwhile.
And by the way, Flash Gordon, Kurosawa and Dune aren’t original either. They’re recycled too.
