The director of the The Empire Strikes Back, the best Star Wars movie ever made, has passed at the age of 87 today in Los Angeles.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force…as if millions of
voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear
something terrible has happened.

– Obi-Wan Kenobi

I couldn’t think of anything from Empire that was appropriate, so Old Ben’s quote will have to do.

Thanks to Joedward and John Schneider for the notice.
