Irvin Kershner - the man who gave us some of the most indelible moments in cinema history with The Empire Strikes Back - has died. He was 87.

Kersh, as he was fondly known, died at his home following a long illness.

He was, of course, best known for directing The Empire Strikes Back, arguably the greatest chapter in the Star Wars saga (and which celebrates its thirtieth anniversary this year). But Kershner also made contributions to other franchises, directing RoboCop 2 and Sean Connery's last appearance as James Bond in the 'unofficial' 007 flick, Never Say Never Again.



Respect to the man that brought us Boba Fett!
Rest in peace

Whilst I'm all for showing respect to the dead, do we really need to commemorate every single old age related death?

[CominAtcha]

Nope.

Dunno about everyone else but that gets him on my shitlist!
