Just to get back the Marquand thing for a second, I really doubt that he and Lucas had a bad relationship. Marquand had a cameo as a scout driver, and was also the voice of Jabba's torture droid. Both these things were near the end of production, and I doubt they would have happened if they didn't like each other. There's even stills and footage on the dvd of them clowning around in the walker. Also, when people say Lucas wanted a "puppet director he could control", I really doubt it. His 3 choices ahead of Marquand were David Lynch, David Cronenberg and Spielberg. If he just wanted a puppet he never would have been interested in those guys.
