George Lucas originally planned to score Star Wars with existing classical music, much like 2001: A Space Odyssey. That changed after Steven Spielberg introduced him to John Williams. Together, they crafted a sweeping, 19th-century-inspired orchestral score filled with leitmotifs, giving each character and idea its own musical identity. Lucas...

George Lucas initially wanted to start the "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (1989) with a sequence showing Indy as a boy, but Spielberg initially disagreed with the idea. According to Lucas, Spielberg rejected the idea as he had really been trashed by the critics for "Empire of the Sun" (1987) & he had said. "I just don't want to do any more films with kids in them." Lucas also suggested making Indy III “a haunted-house movie.” He had such a script written by screenwriter Diane Thomas before her death in a 1985 car accident, but, Lucas said, “Steven had done 'Poltergeist' (1982), and he didn’t want to do another movie like that.” Menno Meyjes’s draft was about Indy’s quest for the Holy Grail, a plot device suggested by Lucas, left Spielberg dubious. However Spielberg agreed to do the movie about The Holy Grail on one condition. Spielberg said, "I will make the movie about the Holy grail but I want it to be about a father and son. I want to get Indy’s father involved in the thing. I want a quest for the father." "I wanted to do Indy in pursuit of his father, sharing his father’s dream, and in the course of searching for their dreams, they rediscover each other." However, according to screenwriter, Jeffrey Boam the Father-Son story was the idea of George Lucas.

These character scenes between Indy and Mutt were the best and most interesting part of Crystal Skull. If George Lucas hadn't rejected Frank Darabont's script, the movie would have just been another Raiders clone, where the emotional core of the film would have been Indy and Marion once again reuniting after being estranged. Indy had no child in that draft. I'm sure a lot of people would have loved that, but Lucas has absolutely never had any interest in rehashing his old material. Lucas wanted the film's emotional core to be about Indy discovering he had a child, and having to figure out how to relate to him despite their generational differences, the same way his own father had to do with him. If I have one criticism of the film, it's that I would have liked to have seen a little bit more of this dynamic. But we did see a fair bit of it nonetheless, and I personally thought it was quite interesting, and that Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf had the exact kind of chemistry required to sell that kind of relationship. I don't think Crystal Skull should be immune from criticism, but I do think that the two most interesting aspects of the film were the flying saucer angle and the specific characterization of Mutt. And these were the two core ideas contributed by Lucas. As much as they complained, it didn't seem as if Spielberg or Ford had any better ideas of their own. So I think it is true that Crystal Skull does at least deserve to be reevaluated, and that the consensus that it was George Lucas who was holding the film back is completely backwards.

Mel Brooks on the only condition George Lucas imposed on Brooks before allowing him to make the satire on "Star Wars" (1977): "Spaceballs" (1987): "The same way I called Alfred Hitchcock to get his blessings on 'High Anxiety' (1977), I sent the 'Spaceballs' script to 'Star Wars' (1977) creator George Lucas. If not to get his blessing, then certainly to give him a heads-up on what I was doing vis-à-vis Star Wars. He was kind enough to read it and respond. He said he had seen 'Blazing Saddles' (1974) and 'Young Frankenstein' (1974) and was a big fan. He enjoyed the script, and only had one real caveat for me: no action figures. He explained that if I made toys of my Spaceballs characters they would look a lot like Star Wars action figures. And that would be a no-no for his lawyers and his studio’s business affairs department. So he gave his blessing to make my funny satiric takeoff of Star Wars as long as I promised that we would not sell any action figures. I said, “You’re absolutely right.” And that was one of the rules we didn’t break. So even though in the movie itself we have Dark Helmet playing with action figures… we never sold any. The exchange with George Lucas also triggered a beloved comedy scene in which a character that I played, Yogurt, a takeoff on Yoda, responds to Lone Starr’s question of “What is this place? What is it that you do here?” with a whole exposé of the movie business. So even though we didn’t actually do any commercial merchandising, we still had a lot of fun with the scene. And over the years Spaceballs movie fans have sent me more than one mockup of “Spaceballs: The Breakfast Cereal.”" ("Mel Brooks on the Making of Spaceballs", Mel Brooks, Literary Hub, 2021)
