10 Biggest Feuds In Star Wars History

10. Terrance Stamp And George Lucas

Terrance Stamp signed on to play Chancellor Valorum in 1999's The Phantom Menace, only because he was interested in working with Natalie Portman. Reflecting on the film, Stamp admitted "I had a terrible crush on Natalie Portman".

Apart from his disappointment that he would have very limited scenes with Natalie, Stamp would grow to hate working on the film because of Lucas' insistence on using CGI as much as possible.

Most of Stamp's scenes took place in the Senate Chambers on Coruscant, where he would be performing in a blue room against a piece of paper, "it was just pretty boring".

Things weren't great between Lucas and Stamp, since Stamp hated spewing bad dialogue into an empty blue room. In an interview with Empire in 2013, Stamp recalled "I didn't rate him [Lucas] that much as a director, really. We didn’t get on at all I didn't feel like he was a director of actors; he was more interested in stuff and effects. He didn't interest me, and I wouldn't think I interested him."

Worst of all, when reshoots for the film began, Stamp was required to come back to shoot additional scenes without pay. As if to rub salt in the wound, instead of pay, Lucas gifted Stamp some Star Wars stencils, which surely worsened an already strained relationship.
