Today is a sad day. legendary director Irvin Kershner passes away at the age of 87. He is responsible for directing Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, one of the most beloved movies in the saga. Let's take a moment and remember the great stories & visions he brought to us in a galaxy far, far away.
Empire was a revolution at the time of release as it is very nontraditional to portray a story in whom the villains win. Throughout the film we are treated with very iconic one liners and characters such as:
Leia, "I love You"
Han, "I know"
Yoda, "Do or Do Not, There is No Try"
Vader, "Luke I Am Your Father"

I'm sure there is no need to say, but he now goes off to a greater place and joins the Force. Farewell friend, you will be missed.
