Do you think is a Coincidence that the BEST Star Wars Move (The Empire Strikes Back) is the one that has the LEAST amount of Involvement from George Lucas?
Because I don't.
Watched it again yesterday on SyFy. Was impressed with the lighting on the characters in some of the scenes. Looked up on IMDB to see who the director was. Irvin Kershner had an interesting CV http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0449984/?ref_=tt_ov_dr.
His handling of Carrie Fischer is particularly notable. He got a deeper performance out of her in ESB than in any of the other films, and he made her natural beauty (she was a modestly good looker back in the day) really shine.

Dead on. There's also the fact that the screenplay to TESB was co-written by Leigh Brackett, a Real Science Fiction Writer...something George Lucas most decidedly is not.
