All true. A lot of credit also goes to the editors, ILM, and John Williams of course, but they weren't really around on set.Yes, Gary Kurtz was a huge part of it. And so were all the major collaborators on the film.
I really wish George had surrounded himself with people who challenged him when he was making the prequels. He's always been good at trying to push the envelope technologically, and challenging what filmmaking can be. Unfortunately he also showed a lot of laziness, writing one or two drafts of the script, shooting EVERYTHING green screen, so he could sit comfortably in a little chair.
Speaking of Williams, I also think that his scores were the only aspect of the prequels that Lucas completely entrusted to someone else considering their longstanding relationship. And that's the reason why the music is the best thing about the prequels.
