George Lucas had originally planned to only executive produce and finance the movie, leaving the directorial duties in the hands of Irvin Kershner and day-to-day producing duties to Gary Kurtz. Directing Guerre stellari (1977) had left Lucas exhausted and sick, and he had intended to take time off to start to focus on the expansion of the Lucasfilm company and spending more time with his then-wife Marcia Lucas, so that they could start a family and finish construction on Skywalker Ranch. However, when production on this movie ran over budget and behind schedule, Lucas had to step in and take a more hands-on role, going on location to oversee filming and even directing portions of the movie. A disastrous rough cut of the movie proved to be incoherent during screenings, and facing the possibility of financial ruin, Lucas then re-edited the movie himself with even worse results. Extensive re-shoots and further post-production effects work put enormous strain on his health, his marriage, and his relationships with Kershner and Kurtz. Though the movie proved to be an enormous critical and commercial success, Lucas would never work with Kurtz again, and his marriage dissolved a couple of years later.
