Avengers: Endgame is finally in theaters, but it's not the only franchise movie to close an important chapter this year. The final installment of the Skywalker Saga, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, is hitting theaters in December. Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors behind Avengers: Endgame, recently shared a hilarious Twitter post that pays homage to Star Wars.

"Anthony: Is that a TIE Fighter out there? Joe: No. It's a grip," the post reads.

As you can see, they included a behind-the-scenes photo of them giving direction to Robert Downey Jr., who stars as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the film.

Many fans of Marvel and Star Wars alike were quick to comment on the post.

"Get these guys a Star War!." @GXG72 added.

"Damnit guys, thought you were announcing you'd be directing a Star Wars film," @FantasmicEars wrote.

"RDJ looks like a Disney princess sitting like that." @SubatomicArea joked.

Even the official account for Star Wars in the UK replied.

"That's no moon…," they joked.
