In celebration of the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, this week are looking at the cast influence 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!  So get out that pasta sauce recipe and celebrate the love with BLAST POINTS!
