I read that during the making of Empire and Jedi George Lucas was never seen and when he actually showed up he would look like "why the hell do I have to be here"

That's interesting, because while I've heard that for Empire, I've also heard that Lucas basically directed Jedi and used Marquand as a figurehead. Or at least, that he had so much control over what Marquand did that he basically directed it.

I've gotten this impression as well. I figured that Lucas was annoyed with losing some of the control during the production of ESB (with Kersh) that he didn't want to repeat the same experience with ROTJ. That, and pretty much every production still and behind the scenes footage I've seen with Marquand has Lucas pretty much breathing down his neck.
