George Lucas came up with the stories (this is actually debated). As far as screenplays, he did the script for A New Hope, and Leigh Brackett & Lawrence Kasdan wrote the script for Empire Strikes Back, with Lucas and Kasdan for Return of the Jedi.

As far as the prequels, Lucas wrote Eps. I & III, and he wrote Ep. II with Jonathan Hales.

Isin't it George Lucas?

No, George Lucas was the director for the films, he did not write the original books.

Some sources say that Alan Dean Foster was the original writer. He wrote Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker, Splinter of the Mind's Eye, and The Approaching Storm. But in my opinion these appear to be based off the movies.

Other sources point to Timothy Zahn. He wrote the books of the Thrawn Trilogy (Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command), the Hand Of Thrawn Series (Specter of the Past, and Vision of the Future), and others (Survivor's Quest, Outbound Flight, Allegiance, and Choices of One). This appears more to be the original stories that the movies were based off of.
