David Fincher declined the chance to direct a 'Star Wars' movie because of the pressure involved in helming one of the blockbusters. The 55-year-old filmmaker started his film career working in the visual effects department on the last movie of the original sci-fi trilogy, 'Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi', and he was sounded out by President of Lucasfilm and 'Star Wars' brand manager Kathleen Kennedy about helming one of the new sequels but he decided against it because of the huge commitment involved and the fear of failing the franchise.
