In 1998, when Titanic took over Star Wars at the box office, Lucas sent Cameron this.

I hope Cameron sent one to himself with the humans in Avatar mining Unobtanium out of Jack's corpse at the bottom of the sea.

I like how the death star is being used as a small flotation device. It can shrink and float on water I see.

Boba Fett seems excited about it.

At least Titanic didn't have Jar Jar...

Edit: And there were tits

missmediajunkie · 5 months

There's a tradition of directors doing this. Here's the Variety ads Spielberg took out when Star Wars beat Jaws in '77, and when Star Wars (rereleased) beat E.T. in '97.

George plucks the painting from his PA, who sits there sweating and trying to breathe regularly as George scours every detail, adjusting his glasses at this, frowning at that. George throws down the painting, points to Boba Fett and shouts, "PAGING DOCTOR FRE-E-E-EUD!" Then he giggles and slips the painting into an envelope; the intern breathes a sigh of relief as George waltzes off to find his book of Alaskan malamute postage stamps.

This is what I imagine goes on in the bowels of Skywalker Ranch.

Tebasaki · 5 months

Every single character is drawn huge (meaning they're bigger than the titanic), and they're on the ship just as it's going down. Such an insult.
