That was largely in the book in first place and filtered through Lynch's own particular taste for the grotesque which was already established on film the year Star Wars came out.

The book didn't have Harkonnen with pustules or have him flying wildly around on his anti-gravity belt -- that seems more like a Lucas-ian absurdity than anything Frank Herbert would dream up.

Oh, and the heart-plugs; mustn't forget the heart-plugs...

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.

Worst Dialogue from the OT.

Had Lucas had his way this would have been in empire.

Leia "I Love You".

Han "Just remember that 'cause I'll be back"

Instead of the awesome "I Know"

It was Kasdan who wrote that, actually; he was reportedly furious at all the on-set changes being made to his dialogue -- but, compared to that line, "I know" is a definite improvement.

 Not an option; "faster, more intense", remember? ;-)
