Well, let's talk about cases like Star Wars movies and many others. Star Wars executive producer is George Lucas, who is not also the director of all the movies of the series, and not even the writer of the screenplay (because it's written that the movies are "based" on George Lucas story, but the screenplay is fro other persons). In this case I think the producer is much more important than the other so called authors, in fact you call Star Wars a "George Lucas movie"... Also for animation, the director is not that important. You call some cartoon movies "Disney movies" even if only the production is by Disney, not the direction or the screenplay. In many cases like these ones the producer is not "only money".

Star Wars couldn't be anything without George Lucas' story. think about it, which one of these movies would be good w/out their stories: Jurrassic Park? Terminator? Predator even? Spiderman? even that horrible AI?? the author is very, very, important.

'sides, all the SW movies were GL directs come out betta
