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

If you have always wanted to be able to dunk a basketball, but figured that you were just to fat and out of shape to ever do so, and one day you saw a 450 lb midget do it; thus, resutling in you rethinking your previously conceived limitations, were you influenced? No, you were not. "Insipred" could possibly be used, but not influenced.
When the career of George Lucas is reviewed, will he be the most influential film-maker of all time?

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.

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 .....
