I did find these more interesting photos and articles too. The photos:
from https://twitter.com/ILMVFX/status/1661811470055911425
“Last weekend we celebrated George Lucas’ picture #ReturnoftheJedi at the 40th reunion. Photographed by ILM modelmaker Don Bies, these photos represent the crew, cast, friends, and families of ILM and Sprocket Systems on both Return of the Jedi and the Special Edition.”
Last time I checked it was a Richard Marquand movie. The photos are cool, ILM’s claim it was “George Lucas’ picture” is not.
They still haven’t fixed their mistake, or even acknowledged the guy who told pointed out ROTJ is a Richard Marquand picture, and not George’s, in their twitter thread. I don’t think they care, or are that bothered about it.
Those pictures, and the others in the thread, are pretty cool though!
and the three articles:

I enjoyed reading those, thank you. I also found these reads on “ROTJ at 40” pretty cool:

“Don’t tell anyone… but when ‘Star Wars’ first came out, I didn’t know where it was going either. The trick is to pretend you’ve planned the whole thing out in advance. Throw in some father issues and references to other stories - let’s call them homages - and you’ve got a series.” - George Lucas
