| Character Information
|
Randall Curtis is the creator of the Cosmic Wars film series.
History
Bart and Lisa wrote to him to complain about the poor quality of his latest film, "The Gathering Shadow". They receive only a form letter in return, so the Simpsons take a trip to Cosmic Wars Ranch, where Bart and Lisa meet Curtis in person and remind him that CGI and updated graphics don't necessarily make a good film.
Taking Bart's and Lisa's advice to heart, Curtis decides to rediscover how he made his creation a success by taking a trip to the video store on a Tauntaun. However, he never makes it to the store, as shortly after Bart and Lisa leave Cosmic Wars Ranch, he meets Homer and Marge Simpson, who are extremely drunk from wine samples and start to use him as a football.
Behind the Laughter
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.
