Cerveza Cristal’s hilarious Star Wars edits are the ads you’re looking for
Back in 2003-2004, Channel 13 in Chile aired the original Star Wars trilogy for the first time, and one advertiser took full advantage of the opportunity with a unique advertising campaign.
We apologise in advance for the earworm you’re about to get.
Around 2003 in Chile, when the original trilogy of Star Wars began airing on television there, they did this funny thing to avoid cutting to commercial breaks. They stitched the commercials into the films themselves. Here is one of them, with the English dub added in. pic.twitter.com/wC7N2vPNvv

The campaign, named ‘The Force is with Cristal Beer’ didn’t stop with ‘Ben’ Kenobi’s heart-to-heart with Luke.

To be frank, it’s about time they put the Force to a more domestic practical use. We’d quite like to see them summon it to wipe up spills or change a duvet cover.
These were the ads the internet was looking for.

I'd never heard of it, and it's fantastic.
Above all, it explains how Palpatine somehow survived: with Cerveza Cristal. https://t.co/JtNd4jOE3e pic.twitter.com/kuX3Cn0Ls8
