Sad news. I was just watching some of ESB yesterday (on Spike) with my two little ones. Not only is Empire my favourite of the SW movies but I think it's safe to say that it's my favourite movie-- period.
I will always remember that my first day at my first full-time job at UCF was also the day that the man behind the best Star Wars movie passed away. What a bittersweet day this will be.
Heard about Leslie Nielson this morning, but just found out about Kersh this afternoon. I watched a good chunk of TESB on Spike yesterday too. Rest in peace Mr. Kershner. Thank you for giving us the BEST Star Wars film of them all!
