<P> Jabba the Hutt was operated by Toby Philpott, David Barclay and Mike Edmonds (who also portrays the Ewok Logray) operated the tail . Larry Ward portrays the Huttese language voice with Mike Quinn, among other roles, controlling the eyes . </P> <P> As with the previous film, Lucas personally financed Return of the Jedi . Lucas also chose not to direct Return of the Jedi himself, and started searching for a director for the film . Lucas approached David Lynch, who had been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director for The Elephant Man in 1980, to helm Return of the Jedi, but Lynch declined in order to direct Dune . David Cronenberg was also offered the chance to direct, but he declined the offer to make Videodrome and The Dead Zone . Lamont Johnson, director of Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, was also considered . Lucas eventually chose Richard Marquand . Lucas may have directed some of the second unit work personally as the shooting threatened to go over schedule; this is a function Lucas had willingly performed on previous occasions when he had only officially been producing a film (e.g. More American Graffiti, Raiders of the Lost Ark). Lucas did operate the B camera on the set a few times . Lucas himself has admitted to being on the set frequently because of Marquand's relative inexperience with special effects . Lucas praised Marquand as a "very nice person who worked well with actors". Marquand did note that Lucas kept a conspicuous presence on set, joking, "It is rather like trying to direct King Lear--with Shakespeare in the next room!" </P> <P> The screenplay was written by Lawrence Kasdan and Lucas (with uncredited contributions by David Peoples and Marquand), based on Lucas' story . Kasdan claims he told Lucas that Return of the Jedi was "a weak title", and Lucas later decided to name the film Revenge of the Jedi . The screenplay itself was not finished until rather late in pre-production, well after a production schedule and budget had been created by Kazanjian and Marquand had been hired, which was unusual for a film . Instead, the production team relied on Lucas' story and rough draft in order to commence work with the art department . When it came time to formally write a shooting script, Lucas, Kasdan, Marquand and Kazanjian spent two weeks in conference discussing ideas; Kasdan used tape transcripts of these meetings to then construct the script . </P> <P> The issue of whether Harrison Ford would return for the final film arose during pre-production . Unlike the other stars of the first film, Ford had not contracted to do two sequels, and Raiders of the Lost Ark had made him an even bigger star . Return of the Jedi producer Howard Kazanjian (who also produced Raiders of the Lost Ark) convinced Ford to return: </P>
