Yesterday Irvin Kershner passed away...
I have a very special place in my heart for this dear man. He didn't just direct the best film in the Star War series. He directed my favorite of the series. Kershner took a job making a sequel to an instant classic that was great and made an even better film. That rarely happens. Most films in a series never quite equal the original. Irvin Kershner took a great story and made it an even more compelling film than George Lucas created. He added meat and flesh to the bones which the Bearded One had created. And he lighted up my childhood immensely.
For that I'm eternally grateful to him...
