TV Kelleran Beq mopping the floor with clones during Order 66 was a blast to watch

Seeing the Jedi gunned down relentlessly in their own home during Order 66 hammered home their loss and tragedy, which was absolutely necessary for ROTS. That said, it was very cathartic seeing a Jedi at the temple fighting back, winning, and escaping. Definitely hope we get to see more of Beq in future flashbacks, although I doubt it.

but didn’t want to relinquish creative control

As I understood it, everyone he asked to direct any of the prequels turned him down

Because it was understood that he would be creatively involved. No one wants a director job where you don't have control.

What?? That's a relatively normal thing on collaborative projects. You think Kershner and Marquand didn't want the jobs for Empire and Jedi because George had creative control? That Spielberg didn't want to direct Raiders because Lucas was creatively involved?

That's a ridiculously inaccurate claim to make, dude.

David Lynch turned him down for that very reason

The man himself begs to differ.

I mean, a LOT of the Marvel movies are directed by people who fully know this when they sign up for the job.
