nabbed Kurtz a Best Picture Oscar nomination, becoming a top grosser of the pre-came next is corporate folklore, invented to makeseem like a pre-ordained creative act by a singular genius. Kurtz laughed off any suggestion that a nine-filmepic was envisioned from the start, pointing to how he and Lucas first tried for rights to adapt Flash Gordon before generating their similar, space-bound project.
But Lucas was traumatized by making his first epic on the cheap, so part of his dream for the sequel was that he would not direct it. For, Irvin Kershner was brought in to helm the film while Lucas joined Kurtz on the floor as a second full-time producer—one no longer encumbered by directing chores, nor anything resembling the financial pushback Kurtz had previously deflected from distributor 20th Century Fox. By all accounts, Kurtz was deeply enmeshed inat every step.
