Marquand was a safe pair of hands, a journeyman director after Kirsh and his 'artistic' over-budgetness.

When it comes to OT, the "directors" were both hired hands to work with actors. Lucas was pretty much creative director behind them. So either Kershner or Marquand aren't to be judged by their work on Star Wars when it comes to their careers. When it comes to their non Star Wars work, I think Marquand did better films. I don't see why wouldn't it be warranted to name some random house after him.
