Remember when George Lucas used to get out of the way and let other people in on his work? Sadly only directed other, less meaty franchise movies but wisely declined coming back to direct The Phantom Menace. Was ultimately a film instructor first.

WOW! Imagine if Irvin directed one of the prequels.

He also directed THE EYES OF LAURA MARS with Faye Dunaway and UP THE SANDBOX with Babs Streisand.
He had definite style.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
