May he rest in peace.
Hmm, reading that article ... would have been cool to have seen him direct one of the prequels ... especially if he tinkered with the script!

 My blog has the link and credit (ChrissD) for this, as well as a brief commemoration of Leslie Nielsen and Irvin Kerschner.

So true, Eh?
He could not have done worse. Even a great epic contains its flaws, as the avid
Buddhist director might contend.
It's been a minute since I read up on Irv's work and influence on Empire. It was a Herculean effort. I had the record and book as a child, always loved that story, mood...just terrific work.
(unrelated, but)
At least Michael Douglas is looking pretty good now!

He helped make a sci-fi classic. That's for damn sure.

Very true. But Empire was awesome, regardless.
