I think you mean his wife at the time now ex wife edited the mess of a film he shot into agreat film with the help of their friends Spielberg and Brian De Palma. Irvin Kershner didn't need any help with Empire because he knows what he was doing and she's still helped out on that one as well, uncredited.

Marcia Lucas is one of the all time best film editors ever. the only reason we got the special editions was a result of his bitterness for her amd not wanting to give her anymore profit from the films. It's why the ones we will ever see are their laser disk versions.

So a very unique set of circumstances allowed for a successful story to happen. And it was like catching lightning in a bottle. Kudos to GL's wife having a guiding hand in shaping important parts of the story. So did so many authors have a collaborating hand in creating the StarWars-EU stories. Many authors worked together. They did not create garbage.
