Director Guy Shelmerdine of SMUGGLER directed this UberEats spot bringing Patrick Stewart and Mark Hamill together for a Star Trek vs. Star Wars face-off. Set in an empty, foreboding warehouse, the confrontation between Hamill and Stewart unfolds as they dramatically read their food orders. The back and forth between them is then interrupted by a delivery of their meals by UberEats.
DP Edu Grau lensed the spot, titled “Showdown,” which came from agency Special Group.

This :30, “Dinos,” has an office worker’s relevant reference to dinosaurs spark our boorish colleague who proceeds to utter one irrelevant fact after another about the prehistoric creatures.
