While McCallum produced the three Star Wars films made between 1999 and 2005, he said his favorite in the series was “The Empire Strikes Back,” made in 1980.

 Classic.

You know, I feel for McCallum. He's actually a really incredible, really hard-working producer, and he has good taste in films. His work on Singing Detective and Young Indy were great. I think he's stuck with Lucas because it's a comfy job that pays really, really well. But of course when he first hired, who wouldn't turn down producing a classic SW re-release and the prequels? It's very obvious that he knows how silly the prequels are, but who could have foreseen that in 1994 when he was hired? It's funny to think how McCallum's career could have gone if he had turned down the prequels.
