**George Lucas, believing that "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" would do far better than Star Wars, even made a bet with Steven Spielberg, offering him 2.5% of the profit from Star Wars if it did better than "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", and vice-versa. As of today, Steven Spielberg is still making money from this bet.

**In fact, everybody was so wrong, that, Kenner, the original producer of most of the Star Wars toys, had a hard time meeting demand in 1977, due to the fact that they only signed on for a toy deal to make a line of space toys, and not expecting as high of a demand as what actually happened. In fact, to avoid missing out on Christmas sales, they sold "certificate packs", which could be redeemed for the actual figures when completed.
