In addition to that, Star Wars was among those films in the 70s (together with Spielberg's) that triggered the whole idea of blockbuster movies and merchandising articles, toys etc. You can feel about those things however you want, but they have been really influential and shaped the movie making and marketing ever since.

Steve Jobs shouldn't be remembered for the Apple II, it was Woz's creation.

He deserves all the credit he gets, he's a superior artist to his pals Spielberg & Coppola

My point is that his greatest contribution is horrifically overlooked.

That's giving a single man way too much credit and influence, and under the wrong title

I'm not sure the OP was saying he was the most influential director

That's precisely the problem. You said filmmaker, not effects studio owner. *NM*

Thats the point, he didn't actually change anything; he demanded that others change things.

You have a strange definition of influence.

Not really, influence is somthing actively done, his role was too passive.

Spielburg, Howard, Coppola, Tarrentino... There is a long list, even only among the modern filmakers *NM*

Maybe, no, no, and no. Lucas had a much bigger impact that any of the film-makers .....
