George Lucas for Panasonic

Wow. I never saw any of that in the USA. On one he had a 3CCD camera on his shoulder and they showed a 16X9 TV/monitor. When was this? Perhaps 16X9 devices were out way before I knew it.
 
You wouldn't have seen this in the USA. Famous actors and directors who would never be caught dead doing something as lowly as a TV commercial, used to do them all the time in Japan, because there was no such thing as the internet and it was never imagined that they'd be seen in the USA.

There's lots and lots of old Japanese commercials with A-list hollywood stars in 'em.
