I thought it was great, using the force powers to start a car really made you subconsciously want to drive to Best Buy and buy the Star Wars Blu Ray! You guys quit talking you don't know how studio marketing works!

Actually you just hit the nail on the head. Lucasfilm definitely had a hand in it to keep Star Wars awareness primed for the blu-ray release this year.

Or is it for the release of Lego Star Wars III or maybe the new season of Clone Wars on Cartoon network! Maybe it's related to the faked moon landing and the script for Capricorn One.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

It's all about building awareness. The Superbowl is the biggest advertising venue of the year and the most expensive and highly coveted air time. Only the biggest corporations can afford those spots like Lucasfilm and Disney. Just because a pop music group is wearing the costumes doesn't mean Tron has suddenly become this big pop-cultural phenom you'd like to think it has become.

DevRevenge Wrote:But...they weren't wearing the costumes. Did you see any discs? Where were the discs?

They flew in on discs and the stage was a disc.

I wouldn't be surprised if disney sponsored all of the Tron related stuff.

No, that was sarcasm.

And calling a round platform and a stage a 'disc' is a little bit of a stretch to me, but whatever.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Errex Wrote:Bottom line, Who cares if TRON has lost it cult status? I mean, really, Do you enjoy the movies less?, Or the toys? I just don't get this niche=cool mentality about a Disney movie.

Exactly, and not only a disney movie, but any movie.

So something is widely known to people now, shouldn't you be rejoicing instead of whining about it? Jesus it's not like this board are the only people that are allowed to like TRON or even be aware of the movie's existence.

Britney: My career is going down the tubes.

The people here were asking why there was so much Matrix stuff during the stupor bowl.

Gotta ask CorrupTron that one....He is convinced Disney paid for the BEP half-time and the Best Buy commerical with Ozzy and Bieber.

Show us irrefutable proof they didn't.

Star Wars Volkswagen Commercial Heading to Super Bowl

January 27, 2011
Volkwagen of America, Inc. recently announced that it will premiere two 30-second television commericals during the 2nd and 4th quarters of Super Bowl, and one of them will have a Star Wars theme. The ads will showcase two new vehicles, the all-new 2012 Passat and the 21st Century Beetle, months before they arrive in dealerships this Fall.

"We've partnered with Lucasfilm for the all new Passat ad, leveraging the emotional heritage of both Star Wars and Volkswagen to create a memorable moment," said Tim Ellis, Vice President of Marketing for Volkswagen of America, Inc.
With its all-new 2012 Passat ad, Volkswagen brings Star Wars to one of TV's most talked about events. Accompanied by John Williams' iconic "The Imperial March," the spot features the most infamous villain in the galaxy, a pint-sized Darth Vader who uses the Force when he discovers the all-new 2012 Passat in the driveway. Here's a peek.
