That was a great sneaky commercial.

The most innovative SW marketing in a long time.
When I was still assuming this was a beer commercial, I thought, "I must be exhausted because that horse's snout looks like a tauntaun."

Finally introduced my oldest kid to episode Iv a few weeks and started empire today. It definitely is cool to watch these movies with a first timer.

He asked me if gen. Grievous is in Empire, and it was all I could mfkn do to not go on a diatribe about the obvious.


You showed him the prequels before the originals? Monster.


Praying this is because he watched The Clone Wars as a small child.

Star Wars has been inconsistent in this area.

For sure

Maybe the clone troopers Ben remembered were really accurate but the random noob recruits sucked.

Maybe, but not the ones tasked with taking him out on Utapa at the time of Order 66.

To be fair….he would be remembering the clone troopers from the prequels who could actually shoot….only when the empire went back to non-clones did their accuracy turn to suck….

At least that's what I'm telling myself at night….

I mean they did hit him off the rock face using only a single shot.

General Hux quit the First Order and realized his true calling, dancing with Taylor Swift. Pretty clever video IMO; apologies in advance to anyone triggered by Taylor Swift.

Would've been better if it'd have hit 9 days ago when 130 + million were watching…

I kinda disagree. I think that ad that ran was really smart. While Star Wars remains a huge cultural icon, Mando & Grogu obviously is a lot smaller sliver of the pie. Putting the whole trailer out when you know Spielberg's putting something out and there's a zillion other commercials might have been counter productive. They learned their lesson from the 'meh' Solo trailer they ran during the Super Bowl in 2018.

Tomorrow, there's absolutely nothing going on. Today was a holiday so most people weren't at work but will be back tomorrow, NFL is over, NBA is on the All-star Break, baseball is just barely into spring training, nobody cares about the winter olympics = All Eyes on Grogu for an entire news day or 2.

Yeah we're just gonna have to agree to disagree...

The first Mandalorian and Grogu trailer on the Star Wars Youtube Channel...released 4 months ago...has 11 million views...just a minor fraction of what they could have had for The Superbowl...

Meanwhile, the Masters of the Universe Trailer that was released on the Amazon MGM Studios Youtube Channel just 3 weeks ago has amassed 36 million views....

released 4 months ago...Star Wars...11 million views

released 3 weeks ago...He-Man...36 million views

Star Wars could have used an awesome kick in the rear with a really awesome trailer (albiet a short one) for the Superbowl because there's just not the same level of excitement out there for it and they missed an opportunity..

Granted this trailer tomorrow could still be crazy awesome and get tons of attention...and i expect it to get more views than the Grogu teaser, but it'll be hard to convince me that what they put out for the Superbowl was better than any trailer actually showing new scenes from the movie...

And the issue with Solo was simply due to so many people still being pissed about TLJ...without that polarizing film the Solo movie would've done a lot better because it was already going to be an up-hill battle being about Han Solo without Harrison Ford....still likely would've made less money than Rogue One but wouldn't have been a flop

Agree with all of this

And would add that Solo was also undermined by all the negative press it received about the directors having to be fired and Ron Howard having to Frankenstein something together.

This abortion that never happened killed Solo's chances.

Looks fun, but also very intentionally like the trailers for the first 2 seasons where everything in the trailer was in the first 3 episodes and they played the big stuff (Fett, Thrawn, Ahoska, Luke, etc.) very close to the vest.

I think they tipped their hand that either Luke or Ahsoka is in it by having Mando say "the kid will live centuries beyond me" - they're the only 2 people alive who could have possibly known that.
