In the credits it says (story by: George Lucas) I think that means George did not write it the screenplay and the other writer Leigh Bracket died during writing the first draft of the script. So who fully wrote the script of this film? Did I forget one writer?

What's the difference between writing a screenplay and a story?

George Lucas created the overall saga from Episode one to six--which inculdes "The Empire Strikes Back". Leigh Bracket began work on the screenplay and died; Lawrence Kasadan was brought in to finish.
During the Academy Awards, both shared honors--which was dedicated to the memory of Leigh Bracket.

The Academy Award for Writing Original Screenplay is the Academy Award for the best script not based upon previously published material. Before 1940, there was an Academy Award for Best Story for writing. For 1940, it and the award in this article were separated into two awards. Beginning with the Oscars for 1957, the two categories were combined to honour only the screenplay.
Screen play is the script
story is like a book
