Adidas Star Wars advert officially the best ad EVAR.

Catch David Beckham, Snoop Dogg, the Gallaghers and more stars as they relax over a glass of blue milk in the famous Star Wars cantina.

Best ad ever?

Well, it's a big claim, sure, but we think Adidas' latest commercial might just live up to the bill. Where else can you find out that Snoop Dogg is a harder Jedi than Mace Windu, see Oasis' Noel Gallagher act like a prat, and discover who really shot Greedo...

Greedo would have totally PWNED Beckham, too.

iamthemaxx Jun 7, 2010 1:26 PM	And the adidas shoes aren't too bad wither ;)
iamthemaxx Jun 7, 2010 1:26 PM	*either
tantryl Jun 7, 2010 1:27 PM	It didn't seem to have any point to it other than exploring the ability to edit and blend film. So a more coherent plot than any of the prequels, I guess.
Hawkeye Jun 7, 2010 2:05 PM	I cannot believe just how jaded some people are. Wow.
maran67 Jun 7, 2010 2:29 PM	The older we get, the more nostalgic we get perhaps? ;-)
bozo01 Jun 7, 2010 3:14 PM	Have you seen the video "Darth Sidious gets a job"? Here's the page it's on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeB6VhbbY_g&feature=related
arkiek Jun 7, 2010 4:16 PM	at 55seconds the creature looks like it has balls on it's chin
Hawkeye Jun 7, 2010 4:23 PM	Dude. It's an Aqualish. They're tusks. Pfft.
pkroeze Jun 7, 2010 4:48 PM	na actually it's a Ballchindian, lol hahaha. BTW bozo01 you should go checkout the tomtom starwars voices ad
fredzfrog Jun 7, 2010 5:05 PM	i was going to post this in green room last night... but any way i worded it sounded like a commercial.. :(
Karmicfloss Jun 7, 2010 6:03 PM	All ads are shit, this fail example only reinforces that fact
snappalicious Jun 7, 2010 8:12 PM	I'm with Karmicfloss... All ads are by their very definition shit. And I don't get the bit about 'celebrate originality' either.. Rehashing the Cantina scene from Star Wars is hardly what I would call original.
nukejockey Jun 7, 2010 11:24 PM	Heh - I'm not a fan of Star Wars, but I quite enjoyed that ad.
hazarama Jun 8, 2010 1:47 AM	making the iconic ironic doesn't make it a good ad. it's slick .. but lame.
Hawkeye Jun 8, 2010 9:41 AM	Ah... Actually, forget about it.
antifunker Jun 8, 2010 10:26 AM	Not one person picked up that the two 'Droids' are Daft Punk?
orcone Jun 8, 2010 10:26 AM	crappest battelstar gurlactica video i ever seen
Hawkeye Jun 8, 2010 10:44 AM	Antifunker, apparently people are too cool for this kind of thing these days.
hazarama Jun 8, 2010 11:30 AM	celebrity cameos don't float my boat. maybe my nerd quotient isn't high enough.
orcone Jun 8, 2010 11:37 AM	david buckmans voice is so girly - soccer players r girls
MotoXXX Jun 8, 2010 3:33 PM	I was waiting for Daft Punk to bust out some tunes :P
antifunker Jun 8, 2010 6:09 PM	Obviously, I'm not very cool then Hawkeye :) A Daft Punk remix of the tune would be insane!
boltronics Jun 8, 2010 9:34 PM	Neat advert. Pity the shoes suck so bad. I brought a pair of Vaders because they looked neat, but they started tearing and falling apart in less than two weeks. Naturally I took them back thinking I brought a faulty pair, but the same thing happened with the next pair too. The store (FootLocker) treated me quite poorly, asking me to actually demonstrate how I put my shoes on! Like I've been doing it wrong all these years... When they saw how easily it slipped on they couldn't say anything, so (not going to purchase another ADIDAS ever again) I asked to swap them over for the cheaper Converse All Stars. FootLocker couldn't resist jabs like "planning on returning this pair soon too"? Assholes. It's been three months, and (as expected) the Converse shoes aren't showing any problems. If ADIDAS put the money they spent on their commercials and the StarWars trademark on QA testing instead, they might have actually came out with a quality product. I've never returned a pair of shoes in my life, until I tried the ADIDAS Vaders.
snappalicious Jun 8, 2010 11:27 PM	Lets here it for the Converse!!!
spooner Jun 9, 2010 8:46 PM	Beckham shot first !!!!
dlbrown Jun 10, 2010 3:50 PM	I always thought that dude at the bars chin looked like a front bum with a peanut allergy
sheok Jun 11, 2010 9:40 AM	ring sting in reverse?
supam Jun 13, 2010 8:52 PM	"I cannot believe just how jaded some people are. Wow." Pretty much sums up the forum these days. I thought it was ok but I'm no SW zealot so I'd only give it 3 ball chins.
