In a documentary (or maybe a commentary I can’t even remember) George said that Marquand was good at tense/dark shots because of his experience with horror. This is why parts like when Leia saves Han from carbonite and the throne room scenes are such great scenes. As for the rest of the movie I’m not sure why George would hire a horror director to film Ewoks and Admiral Ackbar but whatever.
