Beware the dark side: Why is the online video world so obsessed with Star Wars?
It’s one of the most popular and highest grossing film series of all time, but Star Wars is now making a resurgence on the small screen.
Ever since Volkswagen premiered their ingenious mini-Darth Vader commercial for the VW Passat last year, the video world has gone Star Wars crazy, with varying degrees of success.
Darth Vader is arguably the most iconic villain of all time, but for him (and Star Wars) to be featured on so many ads in the last year is going a bit too far.
Take a look at the commercials from the likes of VW, PC World, Curry’s and Vodafone and let us know what you think – is the video world going Star Wars crazy? Which are your favourite?
