Last night, the Twitter account @starwars opened up its weekly online Q&A session.
And being the Star Wars fans they are, someone over at Marvel decided to join in the fun.
But one can not simply give away lightsabers to anyone. This kind of weapon in the hands of someone like a drunk Tony Stark or raging Hulk could be an issue. So the folks at Star Wars to balance it out.
Marvel thought asking for such a godly weapon was too steep of a price. They would need more in order for the deal to be worth it. A few lightsabers aren't going to hold off an elvish invasion.
Star Wars knew though, that giving away Yoda would also give away all of his wisdom. Without him, the Jedi Order would be lost. They demanded some sort of compensation for that. And without Jabba, who would keep the smugglers and bounty hunters in line? Those two crucial characters are worth much more.
Seems fair right? A master Jedi for a S.H.I.E.L.D. director? Marvel saw through this little trick. They weren't about to trade a character played by Samuel L. Jackson for another character played by Samuel L. Jackson.
The most infamous bounty hunter in the galaxy for the dangerous Merc with a Mouth? They're about even. Except Deadpool decided to exercise his no-trade clause and stop the deal.
But business went on anyway.
And it was only a matter of time before such a big corporate deal caught the attention of billionaire Tony Stark.
The offer was an outrage and insult to Marvel, and they emphatically rejected it. Thankfully, they hashtagged that the friendship between the two franchises would remain intact. It's Internet official folks, Marvel and Star Wars are officially friends. Probably because Disney forced them to.
Star Wars admitted to what they were going to use the suits for. They reminded Marvel what happened last time some guys in armored suits came into their territory. Out of fear, Marvel halted talks after that.
The discussion ended without anything official happening, but Star Wars did promise that a deal would be reached eventually.
