Silly topic title aside, I'm sure many of you heard that Speilberg always wanted to direct an episode of Star Wars and that Lucas asked for his assitance for Episode III. I'm not too sure what Speilberg did but rumors are he directed a few sequences. My theory is that he directed the Kaasykk battle as it was very U-boatish a la Saving Private Ryan. Plus, when Yoda left in his shuttle, it had an E.T feel to it. Did anyone else get the same impression?


LOL- the escape pod was TOTALLY E.T.!!!! That was my first thought- I almost yelled out loud- "Yodddaaaa- Phone Home!!!!" in the theater!
