I'll help.

Isn't Irvin Kershner a great commentator? He's just fun to listen to. I really enjoyed the quotes selected for this release. One that really cracked me up was the "creepy robot arm" remark from the end of the movie.

Some other quotes (from Wikipedia):

"Of all the younger guys around, all the hot-shots, why me? I remember he said, 'Well, because you know everything a Hollywood director is supposed to know, but you're not Hollywood.' I liked that." - explaining why George Lucas chose him to direct The Empire Strikes Back.

"I like to fill up the frame with the [characters'] faces. There's nothing more interesting than the landscape of the human face."

Here's a random question, but is Irvin Kershner Jewish?

Also, it seems like it gets overlooked a lot, but Leia kisses Luke at the end of ESB, in his bed on the Falcon. Why doesn't anyone make a big deal of that, like they do the kiss on Hoth?
