As with the previous films, George Lucas personally financed its production but chose not to direct the film himself. Lucas has commented that he would be on set quite frequently due to director Richard Marquand inexperience with special effects but did praise Marquand as a “very nice person who worked well with actors”. Of the situation, Marquand did say that Lucas kept a conspicuous presence on set and joked, “It is rather like trying to direct King Lear – with Shakespeare in the next room!”. Film critic Roger Ebert gave the film four out of four stars, calling it "a complete entertainment, a feast for the eyes and a delight for the fancy. It's a little amazing how Lucas and his associates keep topping themselves." [59] Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune also gave the film four stars out of four and wrote, "From the moment that the familiar Star Wars introductory words begin to crawl up the screen, Return of the Jedi is a childlike delight. It's the best video game around. And for the professional moviegoers, it is particularly enjoyable to watch every facet of filmmaking at its best." [60]
