I think he wanted to be the main creative director and have someone else to do the actor directing (like in ESB) but simply didn’t want things to go as slow as during ESB principal photography. So he was there to make sure things ran on schedule. However, if you come up with the story, characters and ideas and being on the set while someone else is directing the scenes you wrote, you most likely won’t be able to resist interfering.
