Irvin Kershner Discussed Taking on the Role of the Director of 'Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back'
Late filmmaker Irvin Kershner took on the role of director for Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back, written by Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan. In an interview with Hollywood's Master Storytellers, Kershner shared that he initially rejected Lucas' offer to direct the second Star Wars movie. He explained he felt too much "responsibility" about making the project better than Star Wars: A New Hope because Lucas wanted to make sure he had a franchise on his hands. In addition, Kershner said he wasn't impressed with the script for The Empire Strikes Back.
"George promised me it would be my film. I didn't want anybody looking over my shoulder, so George stayed in California and prepared the models for the special effects. I went to Norway and London," said Kershner during the interview.
"I finally said, 'Harrison, don't think about it. Action. 'I love you.' He says, 'I know,'" said the director.
According to Kershner, Lucas was concerned about the scene because he believed the audience would find it humorous, which would result in "killing the tension." However, Lucas realized Kershner had made the right choice after audience members of the film's first showing were delighted by Han's unexpected dialogue and felt it was in character.
