We're not talking about better or worse, It's not an evaluation of acting and cinematography
We're talking about bigger accomplishment,
And TDK and Indiana Jones aren't bigger accomplishments.
Just because it has more movies doesn't mean it's a greater achievement. All the aspects of filmmaking listed above is what makes those three trilogies and the Star Wars Saga better and therefore more grand of an achievement than the MCU.
The MCU has yet to make a movie as iconic or influential as Star Wars or The Empire Strikes Back or Raiders of the Lost Ark or The Fellowship of the Ring or The Dark Knight.
It's scope, it's impact on pop culture, it's impact on the industry, and yes it's overall quality is a factor, but it's not the only factor.
Otherwise the question would just be "which series is better", but that's not the same thing as "which is the bigger accomplishment"
Also has it not outdone LOTR in terms of iconic status? It certainly gets much higher box office. You're totally right on Star Wars, but I'm not sure about the rest at all.
