I like RotJ fine, mostly. Having Steven S. direct it would have been great, though . . .
I don't like everything he does but there's no doubt he's a fine director who really knows his stuff.
Question: if Lucarse couldn't have Steven S. direct Jedi, how did he keep having him for the other Indy flicks? Because those still have the credits in the beginning? Yeah, Jedi didn't have credits in the beginning, the Indy films did. That's why Spielberg was OK to direct the Indy films, but not Jedi. Lucas was too worried that Spielberg's director's guild membership would be in jeopardy if he directed Jedi.

I'd sure like to read a book about the making of SW that didn't have any official Lucarse propaganda. That would be really interesting.
