Our great buddy Rob Wainfur of The Bearded Trio brings us a look back and the life and times of Return of the Jedi director the late Richard Marquand.
George Lucas was in the UK with Steven Spielberg and John Williams recording the music for Raiders of the Lost Ark. While in the country George Lucas asked to see what Marquand had done and in particular a rough cut of Eye of the Needle. He was impressed with what he saw and felt he could work well with the Welshman. George Lucas said.
“I was very impressed with the directing. It’s very tight, very clean, strong movie with narrative, character and just getting the most emotional value out of a concept.”
