Kepler formulated his first two laws of planetary motion before Galileo began his telescopic observations.

Kepler formulated his laws based on Tycho Brahe's observations. Galileo wasn't the one who resolved this issue. His work was mostly stopped after his problems with the Church and his resistance to the idea of gravity.

But we could talk about Ferdinand Verbiest and others... ;)

Galileo wasn't the one who resolved this issue.

It was Galileo who discovered Venus's phases. What more resolution do you need?
