In the viral spot, two dads take turns doing their best impressions of Darth Vader, recounting his famous line, "Luke, I am your father" — heavy breathing and all — as they spoon-feed their toddler son. The one parent whose impersonation of the villain is clearly inferior resorts to making his best Chewbacca noises instead.
The Star Wars-themed soup cans are one of many products pegged to the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens on December 18. George Lucas and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) on the set of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope in a galaxy far, far away.1 of 15FIND MORE PRODUCTS LIKE THISLEGO has just unleashed a new commercial featuring some of the Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens merchandise you can get your brick loving hands on.The short commercial features a new look at Poe Dameron's unique black X-Wing, as well as Kylo Ren's command shuttle, both of which we've seen before. However, perhaps most interesting of all, is that the LEGO commercial could reveal a small piece of story regarding Episode VII. Once again, it seems droids might be at the center of the story.Check out the commercial, which also contains the first sounds of BB-8, below: The bombastic voiceover states:"You can build the X-Wing and save the droid. Load the weapons, climb aboard, open the wings and blast into action!
Watch out it's Kylo Ren!" Does this therefore imply some major significance to the character of BB-8? He/She's certainly featured extensively in the short snippets of Star Wars Episode VII - The Force Awakens we've seen thus far. It seems Poe Dameron may have been dispatched to Jakku to retrieve and protect the droid, which has something of importance that Kylo Ren wants to get his hands on. If this is indeed the case, it's not hard to draw comparisons between this story and to the original tale of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope.Of course, this is all just speculation at this point - it may simply be a scenario developed by the LEGO marketing team to sell the toys with the assets they had on hand. However, given Star Wars and LEGO now enjoy an extremely close relationship, I wouldn't be surprised if elements of the story had been released to LEGO's marketing people to help with promoting both their products and the movie.

Her son's friend Alexander sells it out in front of his house every weekend, hoping to earn enough money to buy a $400 Lego Death Star. "We have gone to Star Wars-themed parties and gifted Star Wars Legos, because all the little boys are into it," says Jayaraman, a doctor who lives in Santa Rosa, Calif. Jayaraman's son, Ishwar, and his friend are both 5 — meaning they were born after the last of the six Star Wars films came out.
But just as all toddlers seem to go through a public works phase in which they want to play with trains and trucks, millions of slightly older boys find their way to Star Wars. "For the better part of the last decade, Star Wars has consistently been one of Hasbro's most popular boys brands, and one of Hasbro's top brands overall," says Derryl DePriest, vice president of boys marketing at Hasbro, which sells Star Wars toys and games. There hasn't been a new theatrical release since 2005, but there are constant additions to the Star Wars universe of books, video games and cartoons. This past Saturday saw the fifth season premiere of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network. (The popular kids show is also now in syndication.) This coming Saturday, more than 1,200 bookstores and libraries nationwide will participate in "Star Wars Reads Day," a promotional event featuring author readings and costumed characters. "I don't think it compares to any other pop culture property" in terms of staying power, says Rachel Kempster, director of marketing at DK Publishing, one of several publishers with Star Wars lines.
"They continue to sell well, though not much is changing in the movie universe." Inside Every Stormtrooper Is A Beating Heart The original Star Wars movie was released back in 1977. If a kid these days happened to become fixated on another hit movie from that period, such as Jaws or Close Encounters of the Third Kind, his parents would be hard-pressed to find much on eBay beyond used DVDs. But there are endless amounts of stuff readily available for Star Wars fans of all ages — including more reasonably priced Lego sets and hoodies for babies, R2D2 spatulas and Darth Vader shower curtains. "A lot of our assortment is built around the hottest, trendiest thing that's happening right now, the latest movie release," says Scott Lametto, vice president of merchandise at Party City, which sells costumes and party wares. "Star Wars has become an evergreen, and it does well for us, day after day, year after year." There's no mystery to why Star Wars remains popular with young boys, says Robert Thompson, a pop culture professor at Syracuse University.
It's got just about everything they like — spaceships, creatures that look like dinosaurs, creatures that look like teddy bears. "The films are exquisitely simple and executed in a way so that they're user-friendly to a kid," he says. As for young girls, their interest in Star Wars tends to grow when there's some major event, such as the theatrical re-release of a movie, says DePriest, the Hasbro executive. "It's interesting that girls want what the boys are playing with, too," he says. "They don't want a Star Wars toy that is colored or changed to the types of play patterns girls want." Camille Paglia, a humanities professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, stresses the multiple portrayals of father-son dynamics — not just between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, but the master-apprentice relations of the Jedi in general. "The Star Wars saga ... fused ancient hero legends from East and West with futuristic science fiction and created characters who have entered the dream lives of millions," Paglia writes in her book Glittering Images, due out Oct. 16, in which she suggests Star Wars creator George Lucas is "the greatest artist of our time."
The depth of Star Wars' imaginative world is a major part of the attraction. Lots of young boys can rattle off information about the differences between spaceships or entire galaxies without having seen any of the movies. "Boys versed in Star Wars share a private language about a vast technical universe that is simultaneously imaginary and concrete, re-created in Lego plastic blocks," Paglia says in an email interview. It's unusual for movies that appeal to one generation of kids to catch the fancy of the next. And, while no self-respecting 15-year-old would be caught dead wearing a T-shirt featuring one of his early childhood favorites — Thomas the Tank Engine, say, or the Berenstain Bears — plenty of teens are still into Star Wars. Volkswagen's 2011 Super Bowl commercial featuring Little Darth Vader became an overnight Internet sensation. "It's become such an important part of kids' lives when they're growing up that it has a nostalgia value as they get older," says Howard Roffman, a longtime licensing executive with Lucasfilm Ltd., the Star Wars production company.
"We've been fortunate that we haven't suffered from the phenomenon where you embrace something as a kid and it becomes uncool when you're older." In part, that's because the books and video games have been carefully targeted at fans of different ages. New content also helps keep the brand current. There was a period during the late '80s and early '90s — between the release of the two film trilogies — when Star Wars toys wouldn't sell. Lucasfilm and its many licensees have since been clever about renewing interest by bringing out new story lines through books, games and cartoons. "You do need new entertainments, you do need new events that keep people engaged, or, in some cases, introduce it to a new generation," Roffman says. Characters who were bit players in the movies, such as the bounty hunter Boba Fett, have become big stars in the world of ancillary products. Lots of little kids seem to love R2D2, thanks to his beeping and whistling and small stature. "George Lucas was just smart in creating a variety of characters, all the different characters that people can relate to," says Jon Scorfina, manager of Star Clipper, a comic book store in University City, Mo., that is loaded with Star Wars paraphernalia.
