Exactly. The first film was tempered by Steven Spielberg, who suggested the opening sequence, much of the narrative and R2-D2 and C3-PO instead of Lucas' preferred Jar-Jar Binks style aliens. Lucas didn't have free reign on the first three, and his ideas were altered and adjusted by his directors, crew and cast. The second set was all unabated Lucas, and we know how that went!
