Remember When You Loved Star Wars?

Target’s new Star Wars ad has no movie clips at all (okay, one tiny one), but will still get you excited about the December premiere of Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens. It relies on nostalgia, with clips of kids (and grownups) all joyously indulging in Star Wars glee.

What’s this all about? Well, it doesn’t say in the ad at all, but the new toys and other merchandise accompanying The Force Awakens will arrive in Target stores September 4th. That gives us all plenty of time to clear the stores of Christmas gifts before the movie even opens. That way, it won’t matter a bit whether the film is any good or not. Still, no matter how you feel about merchandising, enjoy the video for what it is. -via Time

I've seen those before, like a couple years ago. Are you sure they were created for this recent event? Maybe they just reused the images for the website?

I have so many thoughts for an American flag. So far the most American one I can think of that might taste good,
Blue: Blue corn chips
Stars: American cheese (yes it comes in white)
Stipes: I agree with you Alex, Bacon it could be both red and white.
not sure how all that would taste together but...
Another idea involves a blueberry cobler with strawberries and whipped cream. This was fun!

British budgetary cuts mean that we'll just reclaim the top-left corner of the Australian meat pie, but enhance the ketchup flag with a royal sausage-and-mash Onion Jack :)

Canadian flag.
red = maple syrup
white = poutine

Other Canadian foods to consider:
buttertarts
beaver tails
kraft dinner

Craig is correct. These same images were used to promote the Syndey International Food Festival a couple of years ago. In fact I recall it being featured on Neatorama.

I've been trying to come up with an idea for the American flag, but I think Kirsten nailed it with blueberry cobbler. With strawberries and whipped cream, you've got the right colors, and it's a food that represents "classic Americana". It's tough to come up with a blue food.

Beautiful ideas!
