"2001: A Space Odyssey" directed by George Lucas? (no AI)

What if George Lucas was the director of "2001: A Space Odyssey"?
I tried to imagine what would have happened... and I hope that hard core fans of 2001 and Star Wars don't come looking for me to beat me up...
Starring: Keir Dullea (David Bowman) and Douglas Rain (HAL9000).
