Um no... Lucas didn't even write the screen plays for the 1st three movies.
A New Hope: Written/Directed by Lucas
Empire: Story by Lucas, Screenplay by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan, Directed by Irving Kershner
Jedi: Story by Lucas, Screenplay by Kasdan and Lucas, Directed by Richard Marquand (although in reality Lucas did a lot of the directing too since Marquand was a n00b)
Lucas had a simple general outline based on his own interpretations of well known ancient myths, but no details until shortly before the movies were made.
