The only non-American director

Quote of today

"Yes or No will do."

The EV-9D9 isn't in a mood for chitchat.
Return of the Jedi

Today we remember...
Richard Marquand who died today 1987 (born April 22, 1938)

Richard Marquand was the Director of Return of the Jedi. He also did cameo appearance as an AT-ST driver and the droid EV-9D9 in the same movie. He was the only non-American to direct a Star Wars film.

AT-ST is the two-legged All Terrain Scout Transport first briefly seen in the battle of Hoth. They are later used during the battle of Yavin. The AT-ST are faster and more agile than its larger AT-AT walker cousin.

The AT-ST developed for The Empire Strikes Back has a number of cosmetic differences to the ones in Return of the Jedi. That is because much more detailed and versatile AT-ST models were constructed for that film.
