Lucas directed Jedi (ala Spielberg directed Poltergeist) and Irvin Kershner seemed to approve the SE changes (adding more to Cloud City was always his intention). Empire is also the least changed.

Never "officially" confirmed, but it's long been rumored that either 1) Hooper was so out of it and coked up and/or 2) Spielberg was so determined to make sure his stamp was on the film, that he took over the production. In one Spielberg Bio someone on the production said (paraphrasing here) "Hooper would call 'cut!' and the DP would look over to Spielberg for approval".

HA!  You know what, it does look like a Speilberg film through and through.  Makes sense.  Even the musical cues and editing looks like a SS film.
