Its odd how common it is for people to discredit past achievements. Star Wars is one of the most influential, legendary movies ever made, he wrote and directed it. He also was heavily involved in some other excellent films, he's done some great stuff. Definitely talented.
Now, sure he's made very bad movies in the past decade or two, and his decisions to keep tinkering with and not release a nice restored print of the original trilogy isn't fun. But he was a pretty legendary filmmaker in the 70s and 80s.
Much like when a great band just doesn't put out great albums anymore, it happens.
