 George Lucas (qv)s original choice for cinematographer was  Geoffrey Unsworth (qv), but Unsworth was committed to  _Bridge Too Far, A (1977)_ (qv). Gilbert Taylor (I) (qv) was hired  instead, but hated working on the project. Producer Gary Kurtz  became concerned that Taylor was slowing production down and  attempted to replace him with Harry Waxman (qv), but the camera  crew made it clear they would not work under Waxman, and Lucas told  Kurtz that replacing Taylor would probably delay the film even  further.
