That is actually from the documentary from star wars to jedi.

 

I remember now- I have a tape of that but I haven't watched it in years. I don't remember seeing the Ebert interview, though.

I wonder what Lucas doesn't like about Empire- what would he have done differently?

Which scene did he direct, SilverWook? Was it a 2nd unit shot or something?

According to Pollock in that Q&A, Kershner and Marquand resented Lucas' interference, so who knows what the hell happened on the ROTJ set. 

Dale Pollock: Both Kershner and Marquand resented Lucas' interference with their methods, and Lucas resented their resentment. Kershner still feels he directed the best STAR WARS film with EMPIRE, and personally, I agree with him. I also think very few established directors would have wanted to direct EPSIDOES I, II or III, given Lucas' reputation for creative control of this franchise.
