I've heard that David Lynch was approached for Jedi (Lucas loved Eraserhead, and Lynch had been quite malleable to producer Mel Brooks on The Elephant Man), but Lynch turned it down -- although I suspect some of his ideas for Jedi (insane, rich pustule-y fat man, as well as probably some of the designs) went into his eventual Dune.
