I agree that Lucas contribues a lot, but in the case of ESB there's obviously gigantic input from Kerschner on the acting. One evidence is of course the printed conversation from the Carbon freeze-recording (currently available in this months Empire-mag).
I just cannot imagine Lucas directing actors like Kerschner does, and it sure as hell shows in the results. That Carbon freeze-scene was A LOT of work and bickering and shouting, and it comes out brilliantly, edgy and unpredictable. It is ONLY the work of Kerschner and the way he interacts with his actors that generates that feeling (and quality).
