Just imagine: in a parallel world somewhere David Lynch directed this movie


We would have had a Jabba who looked like Baron Harkonnen, skin eruptions and all.

A planet full of dancing midgets in natty red suits instead of Ewoks.

A Dark Lord Of The Sith with a penchant for dry humping.

Lando telling Han while they're exchanging good-byes outside the Millenium Falcon that before he boards the Millenium Falcon to contact the Falcon first because he, Lando, is already onboard.

A lesbian scene between Leia and Mon Mothma.

What a completely different person Lucas must have been circa '82 to be totally down with giving the director of "Eraserhead" carte blanche with his faraway galaxy a long time ago.

David Lynch ruined Dune.

Why would anyone want him near Star Wars?

Lynch was on Lucas' short list to direct "Jedi." And I'm not saying it would have been great with Lynch directing. I'm saying it would have been a lot more interesting than the bland rehash of the first two films that "Jedi" largely is.

Spielberg wanted to do it, but couldn't.

I don't remember any lesbian scenes in Dune however I remember the fat evil boss drooling over Sting : the parallel for that would be Palpatine wanting Vader's metal cock in his dark side hole and I'd prefer to live without seeing that...

However, if it means that someone else made Dune then I'd visit that parallel universe just to see what a good Dune movie might be (and I'll skip the gay stuff when watching Lynch's Return of the Jedi).
