Lucas only directed the first movie... Empire and Jedi were directed by others. My guess is that somewhere between '77 and when Ep. 1 came out Lucas went batshit. No.. wait.. given all the "improvements" he's made to make the original trilogy like he always envisioned it.. Lucas has always been batshit.Originally posted by: Winged Dancer
I haven't seen that movie yet.. actually, its the first time I've heard about it in my entire life, truth to be told. But Lucas' directing wasn't so bad in the first three episodes, so why the leap?
edit: Ep. 5 was directed by Irvin Kershner and Ep. 6 by Richard Marquand
