George Lucas's desire to create a third Star Wars film with David Lynch illustrates a tantalizing, but ultimately unrealized vision for a radically different cinematic universe.
Had Lynch directed Star Wars, the film would have been an aggressively strange experience, prioritizing his unique artistic sensibilities over commercial appeal and potential audience understanding.

The curious intersection of highbrow art and mainstream cinema in Lynch’s work could have drastically transformed the perception and direction of the Star Wars legacy.
