The force was not with the guild.
The Big Picture There is no limit to the influence that George Lucas made on Hollywood. His career-defining achievement, Star Wars, is a franchise that shows no signs of slowing down and expanded to broader mediums beyond cinema. Studios and filmmakers have sought to replicate the magic of the film and its ensuing series for over 45 years. Along with Jaws, Star Wars, for better or worse, established the blockbuster and altered the medium on the grounds of production, distribution, and marketing.
In 1973, before Lucas had all the money in the world and was just part of the class of rebellious, New Hollywood filmmakers trying to get a foot in the door, Lucas directed the coming-of-age '50s-nostalgia dramedy, American Graffiti. The begins with an extensive opening sequence that credits all members of the technical crew and solely the department heads.
Why Was the DGA Upset with George Lucas? George Lucas' relationship with the DGA turned sour when, upon the release of the sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, he carried over the same credit structure as before. Suddenly, the guild took umbrage at Lucas' decision to place all credits at the end. The problem stemmed from the evident fact that Lucas, in fact, did not direct The Empire Strikes Back.
When orchestrating Return of the Jedi, continuing his supervisor role, Lucas searched far and wide for a director outside the system, whether that constituted a young, maverick voice yet to be indoctrinated into Hollywood or a foreign filmmaker removed from American politics entirely. It has been well-documented that coming off the critical success of The Elephant Man, David Lynch was offered the role to direct the third Star Wars film.
