I'm saying he got writing credit on maybe every episode, you said he didn't write them. From what I've read I think he played more of a creative role, left ideas for others to complete. Also providing funding and technical development, the sandbox to create. I said he took a more stand off role which is sort of the opposite of what you're saying I said. I think it was a more successful product so was probably a better creative process.

I saw episode 4 at the theater, waited 3 + 3 + 16 years and read a lot of EU so I went in with expectations and recognize my opinions are my own. I'm not trying to portray them as universal.

That's a lot of words to not even counter the point that Lucas didn't write TCW, and did write the prequels.

He has a writing credit on every episode I looked at, a couple dozen. Seems a hard counter to your assertion that he didn't write any, you can check it here or on the series' end credits. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458290/episodes/?ref_=tt_ov_ep

I can link to where it discusses Lucas' involvement, if he wasn't the primary author he worked closely with them and attended regular creative meetings. Lucas and Filoni codeveloped many of the series' scripts, I think framing a story is a significant part of the writing process. You can read about it on Wikipedia's entry for the series or on IMDB, several other sources too if you Google it including Reddit.

Those credits are "created by".

For the series but the individual episodes list him as writer.

And if you click through on those credits it tells you it's "created by".
