I think it’s time we consider that George Lucas is a mostly mediocre filmmaker who peaked in 1976.

How Spielberg let Lucas talk him into the fourth Indiana Jones movie is beyond me.

If Lucas gets the blame for Crystal Skull, surely he gets the credit for Raiders of the Lost Ark also?

Lucas had lots of help from Lawrence Kasdan and Steven Spielberg on the Raiders script.

Lawrence Kasdan wrote the script for Raiders, David Koepp wrote the script for Crystal Skull. Steven Spielberg directed both. Lucas was co-creator of the story on both.

You can easily verify this on IMDB.
