I've read that George Lucas was so concerned about what he had accomplished with the first Star Wars film that he brought in all of his 'director buddies' for a screening to see what advice they could offer; if my memory is correct, I think it was Brian De Palma who thought the film was a total wreck and would ruin what reputation Lucas had established in the industry. I know that few people truly believed in the finished product, but no one definitely predicted what the box office reaction would be. I guess all of us fans should thank our lucky stars that Lucas persisted and ended up delivering one of the greatest feature in all of cinema history.
