Irvin Kershner, filmmaker of 'Empire Strikes Back,' dead at 87 - CNN.com

In my humble opinion, Episode IV (the first one) and V (Empire) were the best two of the Star Wars movies, in that order.

Hard to disagree with that, but personally Empire was my favorite over A New Hope.

I won't argue that. I've always been torn between those two. All the computer animated crap (Episodes I, II, and III) were just too much for me, and Jar Jar Binks was an obvious attempt to see merchandise.

The inspiration for the Imperial Walkers came from the huge cranes over at the port of Oakland. I see them crossing the Bay every day...too cool...
