I don't think I would go for either, though for a different sensibility, David Lynch would definitely make an interesting film, but it would be so damn weird, it might not get released. For other directors that I like, well. There's David Fincher, but I think all of the stuff that goes along with a Star Wars movie would drive him spare. James Cameron's ego would probably preclude him from doing one. Kathryn Bigelow might be a good choice.

Lucas actually offered Return Of The Jedi to Lynch! And it would have been way better than the one we got imo. Or at least more interesting.

But in general, that's exactly the kind of filmmaker who should make Star Wars content - a person with big, weird ideas and an Americana sensibility. Of course he wouldn't be good at it now. But if he could have made a Star Wars movie at the point where it was early enough in his career that you could force him to make something populist and entertaining, it would be amazing.

The two filmmakers I would most want to see a Star Wars project from would be John Carpenter (albeit it'd have to be when he was in his prime, he's not working anymore) and Sam Raimi

Stong disagree on it being better. ROTJ is my favorite SW movie. And I don't think I've liked a single thing Lynch has done. I can't imagine him being able to make a Star Wars movie that was actually Star Wars.

Hm - have you ever seen his version of Dune? I wouldn't call it a great movie but it's very enjoyable IMO - the biggest problems with it are that the special effects are utter crap and the script had too much story for a single movie, neither of which would be an issue for ROTJ.

Also to be clear I do like ROTJ! I just think Lynch's version would be better and more interesting.

Yes, I've seen it. It is interesting as a film, but terrible as an adaption. As a fan of the book, not particularly a fan of his attempt at adaption that really isn't much of an adaption at all.

I feel like having George Lucas sitting on him would help with keeping it on point, though - and also, I think a lot of the reason that Dune wasn't great as an adaptation is because, well, adapting Dune into a single Hollywood movie is straight-up impossible.

But fair enough anyway!
