Anyways, if Spielberg directed Jedi, it wouldn't have made the film any better than it already was, because Spielberg isn't that great of a director to begin with. He's just a popular director.

He wasn't that popular in the wake of 1941. Raiders and E.T. proved he was no one trick pony in Hollywood.

Jedi would have benefited from having Steven direct. Lucas would not have been able to backseat drive him. And Harrison Ford might not have phoned it in.

A fellow named Kubrick apparently thought Steven was a pretty good director. ;)
