Rip Irvin Kershner

[pro-arte 22]

Sad day, just after the bad news about Leslie Nielsen...

[Quintus 5,399]

RIP, the man who possibly saved Star Wars.

[Wojo 2,453]

Rest in peace, oh greatest of Star Wars directors.

Sad day indeed for movie buffs

RIP.

Damn...

[Sandor 796]

RIP Irvin Kershner.

Thank you for directing my favorite film of all time.

[Ollie 1,059]

Aww man, it's more depressing that it happens during the holiday season too.

Rest in peace Mr. Kirshner and thank you for what you did for The Empire Strikes Back.

[Luke Skywalker 1,792]

I'll watch ESB today in your memory.

Thanks Mr. Kershner.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,498]

RIP Irvin Kershner.

Thank you for directing my favorite film of all time.

Rest in peace Mr. Kirshner and thank you for what you did for The Empire Strikes Back.

I don't think that there could be two more appropriate posts. His talent will be missed forever. R.I.P., sir.

[Brónach 1,301]

Damn. I'm sad now.

[Andy 4,085]

That is horrible news. What more can be said about the amazing work he did? I'd also add that with fans and in interviews, he seemed like such a gracious, kind, and friendly man who was proud of his role in Star Wars. Rest in peace.

[Trent B 337]

Ah crap this sucks to read another great person has passed away within a few hours of each other.

I'm going to have to watch The Empire Strikes Back sometime today in Irvin's honor. He helped directed my favorite Star Wars film of all time.

[Jarbas 1]

RIP Irvin Kershner

The director of the best movie of all time!!!

May the Force be with You!

[Datameister 2,037]

Wow. That is really saddening. I might have to watch ESB today, too. I hope he passed without too much suffering.

Geez, first Leslie Neilsen and now Irvin Kershner. Whose #3 going to be?

RIP and thanks for giving us arguably the best of the Star Wars films.

[Incanus 5,713]

RIP What a sad day.

[OneBuckFilms 319]

Rest in peace, Mr. Kershner.

[steb74 53]

Oh no, very sad news indeed

RIP

[Mr. Breathmask 555]

[scallenger 481]

This is very sad.

I now hope that George Lucas will decide NOT to tamper Kershner's film any further because of this...

[Wojo 2,453]

Not tamper any further? Do the words "3" and "D" mean anything to you?

[Ollie 1,059]

Let's keep this thread respectful to Mr. Kershner's memory, please.

[Wojo 2,453]

I would have thought that comment belonged after the cartoon Nooo at the start of the page, but I'm not the suit with the green pen.

[Ollie 1,059]

I know Quint was sincere in his respect and I'm not asking as a mod.

[rpvee 805]

Really haunting, since Spike was doing an OT marathon just yesterday by pure coincidence.

Ugh, this is so sad, my jaw literally dropped. May he RIP, always be remembered, and may his friends and family find comfort in knowing their loved one left behind a magnificent legacy and a very fulfilled life. The Force was with him!!

[Hlao-roo 389]

I think more people should be named Irvin.

[Wojo 2,453]

Hey good lookin', how about givin' Kersh a kiss?

[crocodile 7,984]

Very sad. Rest in peace. Thanks for the movie that marked the first my first ever trip to the cinema (even though I wasn't even born at the time)

Karol - who is actually halfway through the J.W. Rinzler's book about TESB.

[Jonesy 55]

He directed the best Star Wars film. RIP Mr. Kershner.

[Maglorfin 196]

Why this is indeed a sad news ... Requiescat in pace, and thanks for giving us such a SW masterpiece which we can at least have a privilege of enjoying many years to come.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

What a bad day. We are forever in debt to him for ESB, though I honestly have never seen anything else from his filmography.

I feel bad I fell asleep watching ESB last night.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Despite some people's whinging, I really like RoboCop 2. RIP

[ST-321 4]

Very sad news.

[Trent Hoyt 13]

I'm glad I got to see him at Star Wars Celebration IV. He was too ill to attend CV and I knew that he must have been bad because he would've attending that. We will miss you Kersh.
