I'm still holding out for a Lynch-directed Star Wars film. *crossfingers*

Let's not forget Cronenberg, either.

Lucas asked both of "the Davids" to direct Jedi and they both turned it down.

Interestingly, Empire's DP Peter Suschitzky eventually became Cronenberg's cinematographer.

Suschitzky recently shot After Earth. It would be cool to get him back to shoot another Star Wars movie.

Hmm ... I never knew that. Thinking about it, it would be interesting to see Cronenberg try to explore his themes of body horror within a SW film.
