It could be that Campbell actively influenced Lucas' post first-trilogy thinking about the Star Wars mythology, but since he died six years before the Episode I project was announced, I guess there's a limit to his participation.
It's certainly the case that in the last four years of Campbell's life, the two got on like a house on fire.
