I'd love to know the story of how Lucas got Alec Guiness to sign on. What convinced him? You know he must have thought this thing was gonna flop and was pretty cheesball at the time.

And it's in virtually every "making of" book about Star Wars. You're wrong.

Alec read the script and actually liked it. He understood what Lucas was trying to get at.

Without the role of Obi Wan, he'd have been remembered for a film he did in 1957. That's a long time for an actor in 1976. |

It could well be. Maybe George Lucas is just lying.
But he claims he settled on who he did because they were relative unknowns and wouldn't be distracting.

Yeah, he was an unknown. Lucas also wanted Pacino, Burt Reynolds (who MGM wanted for Rocky), Jodie Foster (who Carrie mentioned in the Special Edition DVD), etc and so on. It's a lie. |

A relative unknown did. Again, these are Lucas' own admissions. He picked unknowns for the roles for a specific reason. Now **** off. You're being a dick for no reason other than you're mad about being wrong about something. Again.

The script, by all accounts, was unreadable. Plus, no one believed in it. |

Leigh Brackett had nothing to do with Star Wars. Empire, sure. Star Wars, no. Just admit I know a lot more about you on this subject, and move on.

I'll go with this. I'll bet a lot of more respected actors at the time read the script and started to .
