I think the approach was the same for all three

but the outcomes were totally different. I used Tolkien's quote because I believe authors have to listen to their inner voice, but their ultimate creations are very dependent on innate talent (and a lot of hard work!). I don't think Stephenie Meyer has a fraction of Tolkien's talent, but she has the same need to write what she thinks is best.
I do agree with you that Lucas's approach was more about his ego. Movies are such a collaborative effort that he has to rely on the talents of others to make good movies. Authors work alone, and don't have the luxury of leveraging other people's talent to execute their vision.
Each cloak was fastened about the neck with a brooch like a green leaf veined with silver.
`Are these magic cloaks?' asked Pippin, looking at them with wonder.
`I do not know what you mean by that,' answered the leader of the Elves.
