I guess it really depends on how you interpret the law of the theory. I don’t consider the theory to be a dismissal of those who collaborated on the film—and I believe the theory leaves room for more than one author—but more specifically states that, in the best case scenario, the director’s vision is the final word. Take Lucas for example. If it’s weren’t for the model makers, concept artists, set dressers, etc., there’d be no Star Wars. However, those collaborators take inspiration form Lucas’ original concept and have to "OK" it with him before it ever sees celluloid. Therefore, in my estimation, Lucas is the author.
