    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

    George Lucas wanted to direct them himself.

    In a 2012 interview, Spielberg admitted that directing "Star Wars" was something he would've been interested in. "I've asked [Lucas]. He won't let me do one," he reportedly said. "I wanted to do one 15 years ago, and he didn't want me to do it. I understand why –- 'Star Wars' is George's baby. It's his cottage industry and it's his fingerprints. He knows I've got 'Jurassic Park' and 'Raiders.' But George has 'Star Wars' and I don't think he feels inclined to share any of it with me."
    On the bright side, fans did at least get a taste of what a Spielberg-directed "Star Wars" film might look like in 2005 with "Revenge of the Sith." Spielberg was loosely involved with a handful of action scenes in "Episode III," most notably the tragic Order 66 montage where hundreds of Jedi were killed. Unsurprisingly, this was one of the most emotional and effective moments of the entire prequel trilogy. It's nice, but it still raises the agonizing question: how cool would these prequels be if Spielberg had been handed the reins for all of them?

              I'd rather have them directed by Peter Jackson or even Luc Besson. They haven't forgotten how to direct and have enough clout to keep out at least some of the studio's woke interference.

                What was woke about the prequels?
