Never Say Never Again - Irvin Kershner
 

Irvin Kershner, 'Empire Strikes Back' Director, Dies at 87 - NYTimes.com

Film director Irvin Kershner has passed on. Best remembered for helming what is thought of the best of the Star Wars movies, Kershner was also the man behind a bunch of... less savory films (Robocop 2, Never Say Never Again, Top Secret!, The Eyes Of Lara Mars) but he also did the pilot episode of SeaQuest DSV which was surprisingly strong.

He was 87.
