‘The Apprentice’ meets ‘Star Wars’ on 10 November

MUMBAI: On the next episode of US broadcaster NBC’s business-based reality showThe Apprentice, the host – real estate magnet Donald Trump – will journey to a galaxy far, far away. The episode airs on NBC on 10 November 2005. In India, the show airs on Star World.

Candidates take on the film business in this week’s episode. Trump delivers the latest task — to create an in-store, interactive retail display to feature the DVD of Star Wars: Episode III- Revenge of the Sith as well as the video game, Star Wars Battlefront II. “Good luck and may the force be with you,” says Trump.

The two teams will have to construct their display in a “Best Buy” store where the DVDs can be purchased and will have access to graphic designers, photographers and structural engineers. The team with the best display are judged by the executives from LucasArts Entertainment and Best Buy wins.

One team turns to the dark side while the other team’s project manager drops the ball. Back in the boardroom, when the losing team faces the wrath of Trump, a candidate claims the task was just a display. Trump says, “This task was one of the best tasks I’ve ever seen. Star Wars… I mean, to me, what’s better?”
