It's really not that uncommon. Lucas is a genius when it comes to stories, creating strange new worlds creating exciting characters. His imagination is basically unparalleled in the history of cinema.
His weaknesses are screenwriting and directing. While he's not exactly a hack (American Graffiti and the original Star Wars), the screenplays and direction of his post-Star Wars work has left much to be desired.
