During production, George Lucas and Gilbert Taylor, whom Gary Kurtz called "old school" and "crotchety", had disputes over filming. With a background in independent filmmaking, Lucas was accustomed to creating most of the elements of the movie himself. His lighting suggestions were rejected by an offended Taylor, who felt that Lucas was overstepping his boundaries by giving specific instructions, sometimes even moving lights and cameras himself. Taylor refused to use the soft-focus lenses and gauze Lucas wanted after Twentieth Century Fox executives complained about the look. Kurtz stated that "In a couple of scenes, rather than saying, 'It looks a bit over lit, can you fix that?', (Lucas would) say, 'turn off this light, and turn off that light', and Gil would say, 'No, I won't do that, I've lit it the way I think it should be. Tell me what's the effect that you want, and I'll make a judgment about what to do with my lights.'"
