I agree that Star Wars didn't single-handedly create the blockbuster model. But I do think that it was really important in creating it, mostly just because of the sheer mountain of money it and Empire made. Star Wars and Empire made a lot more money than Jaws and Jaws 2, and Jaws and Jaws 2 made a lot of money.

And even with Raiders, I think Star Wars probably made some contribution to Raiders getting made - I've read that out of the two of them, Lucas was considered more trustworthy than Spielberg at that point, in part because Spielberg was coming off 1941 which didn't do great.
