The description of Lucas I once heard, and it seems to fit my perception of him - as well as I know him, was that Lucas is a pretty good producer, a so-so screen writer, and a mediocure[sp?] director (the web interface really needs a spell checker for people like me).  

This was given as one reason for the measurable quality improvements of the second and third movies of the first triliogy.  Since Lucas, I believe, had help with the scripts and did not direct either himself.
