Irvin Kershner Takes Secrets With Him To Grave

Renowned director and raconteur Irvin Kershner, known best as the mastermind behind The Empire Strikes Back passed away November 27, 2010. With Kershner's passing the secret history of the making of the Empire Strikes Back becomes ever more secret as the infamous George Lucas impersonator George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan become the last people to know anything about the disappearance of film director and special effects wizard George Lucas who was replaced by the current George Lucas in 1983 shortly before the release of Star Wars: Revenge of the Jedi. Lucas's disappearance and replacement, along with the mysteries of the Leigh Brackett draft screenplay have long fuelled rumors and speculation. The current George Lucas insists that he has always been George Lucas, but digital effects on his beard that could not in any way be organic have given rise to the widely held notion that he is an impostor.
