Don’t know about you guys but I’d LOVE to know what that 1/4 percent was worth these days 😂

[@CaptainT10000]

Certainly enough not to be desperate for a job 😂 Do you think he (or his family) still gets a quarter of the profits from it?😮

[@markgerrard5285]

$ 7,618,285

Another 1/2% means he was already in at a 1/2%, plus the 1/4% from the producer = 1.25% of gross earnings!

[@wheelblack35]

Depends what he’s paid but a quarter is 25

The VOICE!!!

[@order66collectibles]

I know right?!

[@David-ox1yi]

He gave the extra to avoid paying him a writers fee for adding to the script.

[@order66collectibles]

Oh is that the real reason?

[@MarkusHeimy]

Sir Alec amd his estate has made over $100 million from all Star Wars movies.

[@schumi9xwdc]

1.25%

[@order66collectibles]

Sneaky producers trying to change the deal on him lol

[@MikeyYaYa]

Lucas shoulda been more a man of his word!!

[@vardellsfolly5200]

[@derosierm1]
