The movie made 475.106.177 USD (inflation-adjusted 2010: 933.180.769 USD) at box offices worldwide, was nominated for 5 Oscars and finally got the Oscar foe best SFX. Though 'Return Of The Jedi' wasn't roughly as successful as 'Star Wars', it was still a satisfying ending of the saga for anyone involved. A lot of Star Wars fans think that this is the reason why the final part of the saga is the worst of the old trilogy because didn't have anyone around who challenged him creatively. Kazanjian who had a better rapport with Lucas as well. It's also conspicious that Gary Kurtz, producer of 'Star Wars' and 'The Empire Strikes Back', wasn't on board anymore.

They say that Marquand always kept in touch with Lucas and that his way of shooting had much more in common with Lucas' visions. But he didn't like the job Irvin Kershner did for 'The Empire Strikes Back' because, according to Lucas, Kershner used to mwork too much on his own. For that reason and beuse he never really liked the job as director, he often hired people to do it. Lucas always considered himself a filmmaker and he's convinced that the job as director is only one tiny peace of a huge jigsaw puzzle. Each spaceship, each part of the plot had to be confirmed by Lucas beforehand.

George Lucas, the father figure of the saga, watched the entire production and needed director Richard Marquand 'only' for the shooting of the many dialog scenes. Due to the made experiences, the team was able to fulfill the budget and time restrictions of the SFX post-production, though the actual battle of Endor was originally bigger. The production for the prequels will be moved to Australia. That makes 'Return Of The Jedi' the only movie of the 'Star Wars' saga which was entirely produced in the US. Endor rised in the Redwood National Park in California and Dagobah in a studio, the few exterior shots of Tattoine were shot in Arizona. Suffering the sun of Tunesia and the tight budget during the shooting of Episode IV, having to deal with fires in the studios or snowstorms during the shooting of Episode V, Episode VI could be shot at domestic sets. In comparison to the productions of 'Star Wars' and 'The Empire Strikes Back', the production of 'Return Of The Jedi' wa pretty uncomplicated.
