Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I've thought of this before with another great trilogy: Leone's 'Man With No Name' spaghetti westerns. You know how 'A Fistful Of Dollars' was based on 'The Bodyguard' by Kurosawa (who was inspired by the westerns of John Ford)? And then they made 'Last Man Standing' with the same story. I can't remember whether anyone has made it into a sci-fi.
I'd love to see the Star Wars saga remade as samurai films, gangster films and westerns (and possibly remade as sci-fi films too). I think the way that these stories can be translated to the different locations is fascinating!
Samurai <-> gunslinger <-> gangster <-> jedi.

(the other ones I agree with you about, though). No, I think Episdoe 6 is great also (don't get mad), It is one of my favorites. I just meant that it could have been up to SW and ESB standards if Gary had stayed.

Not to defend Lucas too much, but it seems like when you start changing directors in a series, it ends up bad. See Batman and Robin, Superman III and Superman IV. Yes, the prequels could of been much better, but they also could of been much, much worse.
Yes, but Tim Burton was replaced by Joel Schumacher. Look what happend when Chris Nolan took over. It is important to have a good director.
Coincidence, I'm sure.

I'm sure it would have been better. I mean, there's already proof. The Empire Strikes Back. Not directed by Lucas. Better. Best.

That's the whole idea behind the Joesph Campbell thing, isn't it?

. Yeah, you're right. When Darth Vader revealed Luke's parentage to him, Kersh wanted to have Vader take his helmet off to reveal the face of Underdog, but since that wasn't technically possible in a realistic way back in 1979, he had to scrap that idea. He also wanted to have a sex scene between Han and Lando as a ploy to get Han's guard down so that Vader could capture him, but Harrison and Billy Dee refused to do it.
Thank goodness for that, huh?

The way that I heard it, Lucas wanted to tell the story a certain way and otehr directors tried to dissudae him from doing things which he wanted, so he decided to direct himself. I wonder whatever happened to the young man who gave the reigns of The Empire Strikes Back to another director because he did not feel confident in his own skills.
