Episode 218 - Directed By Irvin Kershner

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, this week we are looking at the vast influence of TESB director Irvin Kershner has had on the galaxy far far away. A director who in 1980 seemed to have come from nowhere but had deep connections to the early days of Lucas' career. What did his unique perspective add to Star Wars? How did his influence almost make Empire get shut down? It's a fascinating story of a person who's role in the saga is not talked about enough!
