R.I.P. Irvin Kershner

Irvin Kershner, director of the best Star Wars movie by a mile, The Empire Strikes Back, has sadly passed away today. I can't even stress how important Star Wars was to me whilst growing up, so I'm genuinely gutted about this news. Kershner pushed Star Wars towards a more personal, character driven dimension, and showed the world that families are totally fucked up and dysfunctional even in space. Rest in peace.
