The Ten Greatest Star Wars Ads for Non-Star Wars Products
Even if Star Wars isn’t your thing, you have to admit that their ads are pretty cool. Oh, I don’t mean ads as in commercials about Star Wars products, no no… most of those are pretty silly. No I mean ads about things that have little to nothing to do with the Saga itself. That’s right, kids, the Star Wars influence is all over the place, and it’s all over these really epic commercials.

This is a classic. Even if I already knew that Lightsabers don’t run on batteries (and I do), this ad almost makes you believe they just might.

This is almost too perfect. Be sure to check out the Yoda and R2-D2 versions, too.

Everything about this kid rocks, from his over-sized helmet, to his tiny hands, to the way he shoves his dad out of the way… it all works. If anyone deserves the Force, it’s this boy.
