Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Mark Hamill returned to Elstree Studios in 1982 to film the third and final installment of the original “Star Wars” trilogy. While George Lucas directed the first movie, Irvin Kershner helmed the second, and it was British film director Richard Marquand who was in charge of “Episode VI – Return of the Jedi.”
According to Fisher, Marquand brought a completely different tone to set, and she even accused him of being verbally abusive toward her. “I hated him,” she admitted to The Daily Beast. “He fell all over Harrison, but he would yell at me constantly,” she added. Of course, Fisher felt she couldn’t complain about his behavior at the time, and it’s not clear whether she ever spoke out against him before this interview. She does recall getting her own back in a small way, though. “He yelled at me one day, and I burst into tears, and it felt great because it f***ed up the makeup. I thought, ‘Oh, I f***ed up your shot? Now you see who really f***ed up.’ It took an hour for them to do my makeup again.”

After the movie wrapped, Marquand went on to direct three more films — “Until September,” “Jagged Edge,” and “Hearts of Fire” — dramas that were nothing like “Star Wars.” He worked on the latter up until his sudden death in 1987 at age 49.
