Character Information
|
Randall Curtis is the creator of the Cosmic Wars film series.
History[edit]
Bart and Lisa wrote to him to complain about the poor quality of his latest film, The Gathering Shadow. They received only a form letter in return, so the Simpsons go to Cosmic Wars Ranch, where Bart and Lisa met Curtis in person and reminded him that CGI and updated graphics don't necessarily make a good film.
Taking Bart's and Lisa's advice to heart, Curtis decided to rediscover how he made his creation a success by taking a trip to the video store on a Tauntaun. However, he never made it to the store, as shortly after Bart and Lisa left Cosmic Wars Ranch, he met Homer and Marge Simpson, who were extremely drunk from wine samples and started to use him as a football.[1]
Behind the Laughter[edit]
Randall Curtis is a parody of George Lucas, creator of Star Wars. His headquarters, Cosmic Wars Ranch, is an obvious parody of Skywalker Ranch, the headquarters of Lucasfilm which makes the Star Wars films. He might be named after the last names of Tony Randall and Tony Curtis.
