Empire Online reports that Steven Spielberg would love to direct Star Wars, but George Lucas won't let him:
In an exclusive interview with the director, Empire asked Spielberg whether such a dream team could ever come to fruition. 'I've asked him!' Spielberg told us. 'He won't let me do one.'
The discussion between Spielberg and Lucas on this issue goes way back it seems; 'I wanted to do one 15 years ago,' says Spielberg, 'and he dien't want me to do it. I understand why - Star Wars is George's baby. George is my best friend and I believe I am his, but we are all competitive.'
