When movies pass each other as the top-grossing movie of all time, there's been a trend on congratulating each other in the paper. In 1997, when Titanic
passed Star Wars
as the highest-grossing movie, George Lucas took out a full-page ad in Variety congratulating him. This is that ad (click to enlarge):

What did you think of the ad?

I think it's very very cool. Even though...(now please don't hate me) I am not a big Star Wars fan, But seeing this tribute I think George Lucas is a class act.
Blessings, Joanne
That is great!
I've always liked how Spielberg gives nods to Lucas in his movies with strategically placed Star Wars toys.
No problem, Joanne, we embrace all geeks here. And I agree, it's really classy
I agree, they have an awesome relationship
Very cool! Hopefully Jim will be congratulating Joss very soon.
George Lucas will always have my respect, for this and many other things.
This darkside relief proves Lucas is a good sport. You've gotta hand it to Cameron.
That would be awesome
Agreed, classy
Pretty cool
