Sad day....Irvin Kershner remembered.

A sprightly 87 years old, I guess the famed Empire Strikes back director had a good run, but sadly he passed away in Los Angeles earlier today.

George Lucas writes:

"The world has lost a great director and one of the most genuine people I've had the pleasure of knowing," says Lucas. "Irvin Kershner was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. When I think of Kersh, I think of his warmth, his thoughtfulness and his talent. I knew him from USC -- I attended his lectures and he was actually on the festival panel that gave the prize to my THX short. I considered him a mentor.

"Following Star Wars, I knew one thing for sure: I didn't want to direct the second movie myself. I needed someone I could trust, someone I really admired and whose work had maturity and humor. That was Kersh all over. I didn't want Empire to turn into just another sequel, another episode in a series of space adventures. I was trying to build something, and I knew Kersh was the guy to help me do it. He brought so much to the table. I am truly grateful to him.

"He was a friend as well as a colleague. He will be missed."

A stunning director at the best of times, but just reading the Making of Empire Strikes Back and his work around the carbon freezing chamber, especially with Han and Leia.

If I could say anything it would be 'We loved you man'...but then he probably knew. 8D
