Club Jade

There’s a Youtube comment (!) that that mentions Lynch might have been better suited for Revenge of the Sith. I can see that: Imagine the dream sequence! (via)

It’s fairly common knowledge that Lucas asked David Lynch to direct Return of the Jedi. He refused, but this video imagines what could have been. It’s a bizarre one, kids. (via)

With blackjack! And hookers!

• Hot rumor mill action! Jim Hill wonders if Lucasfilm and Disney are plotting something. Oh, oh! A land war in Asia!

Elsewhere in the media…

• David Lynch (briefly) talks about George’s offer to direct ROTJ. Sadly lacking in wacky Lynch-ness. (via)

• Star Wars-inspired shoes much less Star Wars-looking than expected. I am underwhelmed. Really, you could throw a SW logo on pretty much anything made of shiny black leather and call it Vader-inspired.
• Video of George Lucas at the D5 conference.
• I bet Phil knows this guy. Also every time I see the headline I think it says Mary Franklin.
• Star Wars namechecked in column on movie soundtracks, surprisingly absolutely no one.
• Artist re-envisions critic as a Hutt. Naturally. (via)

On StarWars.com

• A brief history of Star Wars lunchboxes

• Back To School with Star Wars Shop; download free Katie Cook & Grant Gould book covers to match.

The best movies never made. Lots of sci-fi, naturally: Disney’s A Princess of Mars? James Cameron’s Spider-Man? Weird.

I have one for ya: David Lynch’s Return of the Jedi. Although having seen his version of Dune, perhaps it was for the best.
