A custom image of George Lucas set against the background of A New Hope poster
The Big Picture Until Disney bought Lucasfilm, George Lucas was the sole person to which all of Star Wars' success would be accredited to. Believe it or not, though, Lucas only directed one of the films in the original trilogy. That's right, George Lucas was heavily involved in the first six Star Wars films, but before the prequel trilogy came along, Lucas had only directed the original: Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.
Why Didn't Lucas Direct 'Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back'? Between running Lucasfilm, an effects company Industrial Light and Magic , self-financing the future Star Wars installments to retain creative control, and ensuring that Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back would be made properly, Lucas knew that he wouldn't be able to give the film the attention it needed.
Empire was a smash hit, going on to not only become regarded as the best entry in its series, but also one of the greatest movies of all time. It also provided Star Wars with a guarantee for future installments! Despite Empire's success, Irvin Kershner declined the opportunity to return, so Lucas began the hunt for the director of the saga's final film, Return of the Jedi.

With figures like Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis turning the job down, as well as seemingly everyone in Hollywood finding the task of following up the original trilogy too daunting, Lucas took it upon himself to write and direct all three episodes.
