42 Years Ago, David Lynch Almost Put His Stamp On The Most Iconic Sci-Fi Franchise
Briefly

Lynch reflected on being approached by George Lucas, saying, "I was asked by George to come up to see him about directing what would be the third Star Wars. And I had next door to zero interest." His reluctance highlights his preference for personal artistic endeavors over mainstream blockbuster films.
He describes meeting Lucas, commenting, "George is a guy that does what he loves, and I do what I love. The difference is what George loves makes hundreds of billions of dollars." This contrast underscores Lynch's commitment to his unique vision over financial gain.
As Lynch recalled his experience, he noted, "He took me upstairs and he showed me these things called Wookiees and now this headache is getting stronger." This moment captures both the surreal nature of the encounter and his physical reaction to the looming pressure of a massive franchise.
