Cool Marketing: Spike TV’s Star Wars Advertisements

Posted on Monday, March 24th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta

Spike TV Star Wars Bus Ad

Just found this absolutely brilliant Spike TV Star Wars Advertisement featuring Darth Vader (apparently Spike TV will be airing the Star Wars saga starting April 4th). I’ve updated this story below with official photos of the other two advertisements featuring Chewbacca and Darth Maul.

  • LAUGH!

    ... The Vader one is brilliant.
  • man
    Why do they think people will be interested in watching this edited down with commercial breaks when most people own the dvd and could just pop that in and watch it with a good transfer?
  • Because people are lazy, and will watch something like this rather than channel surf for Ronco infomercials.
  • JeiKein
    There is also one with Princess Leia that says "God bikinis never go out of style."
  • I have added the Princess Lei advertisement to the posting
  • LOL

    Where's your copy of the best ad of all - Leia in "THE BIKINI"?

    Just saw that on a bus side today in lower NYC...squee
  • OK nevermind, after hitting refresh, it just popped up.

    Brilliant!

  • @ProgGrrl

    wow... that blog of yours is as geeky as it gets..

    @man

    This will not be the edited down version of the films, though yes they will have commercials. There will be pristine transfers of the movie, LucasFilm is very anal about that and has been checking up Spike's edits to make sure they meet their approval.

    They will also be in HD at some point as well...

    Lets not forget that many people will flip and see the movies on and start watching, but they may not have had the desire to pop-in the DVD
