I would have had Kasden write the screenplay, had gary kurtz produce and Kershner direct.

Lucas only as a story consultant and executive producer to make sure the film does not go over budget.

How Different would the history of the franchise be today if the problems on empire did not prevent Lucas from getting steven spielberg when he was at his collaborative best to direct jedi.

Lynch would have never taken the job, as he would have resented Lucas always being over his shoulder and the word had already gotten out that Lucas was controlling and impossible to work with, reports obviously over stated and exaggerated. Of course Lucas was worried he was an independent funding the whole show himself and could have lost the ranch.

Lucas as a self made man was used to doing everything himself and this came out of the spirit of American Zoetrope, i think he usually is greatly misunderstood. It does not help that he is shy, introverted and quiet.

I think that Lucas is an admirable guy, and as usually as it is with all artists his strength is drawn out of his weaknesses.

The French New wave of autuer theory of filmaking, and USC taught him to be proficient in making films that were uniquely his films. Thus Lucasfilm. The plots stories and direction of the films were not determined by the hollywood banker types and shysters lucas found it distateful to work with.
