One story I remember hearing is that during the initial Tatooine scenes, George Lucas wanted to put a diffusion filter in front of the lens to have that soft diffused look that was popular back then (think Superman). Taylor thought the film should have a sharper look and didn't like the idea. Apparently George got his way... But fastforward 30 years and Lucas asked Lowry to 'sharpen' those affected scenes.
