This C-3PO And R2-D2 TV Ad Is Better Than The Prequels

I’m surprised that a UK electronics megastore chain got the OK to make this TV ad featuring R2-D2 and C-3PO. But then again, we’re talking about George “Show Me The Money” Lucas here. The results, however, are rather good.

    Wow that’s actually a pretty good ad. Love the smitten R2 (by a pink vacuum no less)

    Always jars me when they bring Star Wars into our world (especially the original trilogy) and reminds of how much progress we’ve made since 1977. R2 looks positively primitive these days.

    Ah, George Lucas, as long as you keep pimping out your franchise for royalties, there’s the chance something decent might actually come along (KOTOR, Heir to the Empire, Clone Wars)
