Wasn't Marquand simply Lucas's puppet? I understand that after his absence from the ESB set, Lucas insisted on having a very strong presence on the ROTJ set. I believe that Lucas regretted being away from the ESB set (the control freak that he is). Hiring a puppet director was his way of ensuring that ESB didn't happen all over again.
