What was the deal with the various cuts of Watchmen in terms of who wanted them etc?

The Disney buyout had not been finalized or announced when Snyder made his pitch to Lucasfilm, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah it was mid/late 2012.

Vanity Fair posted:

“I was in postproduction on Man of Steel,” Snyder says. “I had heard there were rumblings about possibly doing another three [Star Wars] movies at some point. My take was that, if you just let me have the IP, I’ll make this cool movie, and I won’t get in the way of anything that you guys are doing.” In other words, his proposed film would feature original characters and a new storyline that didn’t necessarily impact or disrupt any of the existing Star Wars canon.

Snyder first met with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy shortly before the company’s sale, and he later sat down with Disney’s then studio chief, Alan Horn, after the acquisition. While Snyder felt their reactions to his idea were promising, both the filmmaker and Lucasfilm ultimately decided it wasn’t going to work out.

Pretty sure The Hidden Fortress is the Kurosawa movie he always says inspired SW. ANH is certainly a lot closer to that than Seven Samurai, which I have a harder time seeing in Lucas’s films.

Dersu Uzala is almost certainly an inspiration for Empire Strikes Back.
