Volkswagen 'Star Wars' - See Films Differently.

[Electroguy1996]

All I'm saying is, The Sarlaac Pit was a Giant Sand Vagina. So was he the Good Witch or what?

[DarkMeir]

I know this video is just an advert but it does have a point...Luke is Dorothy, Han Solo is Scarecrow, Chewie is Cowardly Lion, C-3P0 is Tin Man and R2D2 is Toto, Ewoks are Munchkins...there have been studies written on how Star Wars = Wizard of Oz BUT alot of modern fairytales such as Star Wars AND Wizard of Oz are just 'retellings' of MUCH OLDER stories...Odyssey, King Arthur, etc

[PIII550]

C3PO is the Cowardly Lion, jheezh

[HandelandJ]

Yeah cause Chewbacca is a coward... or wait he was the one who made Han go back and save Luke from Vader at the end. He and Kenobi are the bravest characters in Star Wars... and Leia, Mace Windu, and R2. I know this is supposed to be a joke, but how is it funny?

[CanderousXOrdo]

@HandelandJ It's as funny as your seriousness for this vid.

[silentbob8201]

@HandelandJ Chewie was afraid to go into the garbage shute we know why but still.

[HamJamAndSpam]

You people are all idiotic retards these are adverts played in fucking cinemas that people are supposed to find amusing. I dont see why you feel the need to have pointless debates and arguments over them. Your fucking spoiling it for the rest of us who find it funny!

[polghirstenskoetter]

Pay close attention when he mentions the Cowardly Lion - the word "lion" was redubbed, his lips don't match the word. If you turn off the sound, you can guess what he really said :)

[NGCapnJack]

Wow, good job catching that one!

[PhilipToddCoppola]

whats he saying i cant tell :D

[Electroguy1996]

@polghirstenskoetter What does he say?

[APlusArt]

I think it's called a joke. and the toy story one is the best, though this one is still kind of amusing.

[FirstClassHeel]

Yeah, I like the Toy Story one (because in a sick way, it actually makes sense, especially the whole "Woody crumbles over Bo" thing).

[MaicoMoon]

This guy is a fucking retard. Nowhere near as good as the Toy Story one. This guy is obviously a knock off of someone dumb like Bush.

[linkxsc]

people fight about this thing way to much, seriously so what if some English guy thinks its a nockoff of the Wizard of Oz, thats what he thinks, personally i think it was just they took the books the Illiad and the Odessey, messed around with the storylines and then replaced all swords with blasters and lightsabers

[grizzlychris2]

somebody has poor grammar skills and is lazy/tired as well because you don't seem to be able to type out the word YOU. as for calling me "mate" and "little bear" you are sounding more and more like a dried up pedophile to me. a lonely homosexual british pedophile who thinks he/she/it? is because they awesome to argue with people on youtube about things that they cannot wrap their minds around so they get frustrated and someone disagrees they shit a brick.

[raspberrysmoothie]

Omg all im doing is telling u my opinion, atleast im capable of that! U are the one who has randomly attacked the way i type. Im going to type this one more time. FINE U DONT LIKE THE VIDEO, IM OK WITH THAT. BUT IF U CANT BACK IT UP WITH CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM THEN DONT SHIT ON ME ABOUT IT. Im a pedo am i? U wish.

[raspberrysmoothie]

I'll learn to type if u learn how to ave debates instead of arguments. U dont even know me so dont accuse of anything just cos im brave enough to discuss my opinion on the internet. In britain we call ppl 'mate' at the pub and i called u little bear in reference to grizzly and u tryin to act big in front of me, when ur not. My apologies i didnt realise it upset u so much. But dont judge me just bcos i disagree with u.

[grizzlychris2]

if this is your favorite film than you have absolutely no taste in film of anykind. this film was never on a "high horse" it sucks. you suck and it was UNFUNNY. Learn to type you fool. K "mate" G'day fag.

[raspberrysmoothie]

Star wars isnt actually, i dnt kno where u got that from? I need to learn to type this is what u wrote to me..

but a some people just are not meant to deadpan jokes. That aint english, dnt judge my english when u cant even make a sentence. And its rich u callin me a fag when u ave a video of darth vader as cock. Aww poor lil bear is tired i think, i think someone needs to sleep cos they r getting so uptight go and get a blankie n cock to snuggle. Oh an g'day is an australian expression lil bear

[grizzlychris2]

You're an idiot.. Clearly you have simply clicked on my profile to check out the video i have up..wow how creative. You just do not understand how intelligent people are. I know that british humor is different, but a some people just are not meant to deadpan jokes. the person speaking is one of those people. Why do you care so goddamned much what i think if i think it's unfunny than that's it. I don't like it...stop wasting you're time you are just making yourself look foolish.

[raspberrysmoothie]

Ur wasting ur time getting uptight about it. Im just stating my opinion and everytime i do all u do is attack it with 'its not funny, it sucks' god sakes mate back it up there more words then unfunny and sucks. Im debating not arguing. Theres a reason its deadpan cos its meant to be performed as simple as possible to make it realistic, in real life ppl dnt mke a show and dance out of an opinion.

[raspberrysmoothie]

Im not critizing u or what ur saying, im simply explaining y i think its clever, n i think its equally funny when ppl defend it jus cos its 'star wars'. Oh n btw i looked at ur profile to see where u were from n jus saw ur video, yea i feel really creative lookin at ppls profiles??? Er yea thanx really smart, good comeback. Im not gonna call u an idiot cos i dnt need to insult ppl to make me feel good or when my favourite films gets knocked off there high horse.

[grizzlychris2]

it's not even funny.

seriously. this sucks.

[raspberrysmoothie]

Lol i thought watchin the advert was funny enough but reading fans getting defensive is even funnier.

[grizzlychris2]

yeah but the video is just a waste of time. so it;s not funny.

[raspberrysmoothie]

whether u think its funny or not thats ur opinion, but the whole point of the advert is ppl avin an individual view on the films they've seen. Bcos star wars is such a huge film with a big cult following everyone feels 'oooh gotta respect it'. But when it comes down to an opinion then it can be as silly n interesting as u want it. The guy in the film never says anything about wheather he hates it or loves it, he jus shares his perception on it.

[HamJamAndSpam]

This guy doesn't acctually feel this way about the film, it was writen for him. This man... is an actor. It is supposed to be funny you idiot!

[raspberrysmoothie]

Oh wow i totally forgot about these adverts.

LOL is it really an actor??? Really! thanks for that so many sleepless nights wondering why people were debating this and low and behold genius comes along and points the obvious. No shit sherlock!

[HamJamAndSpam]

For that raspberrysmoothie? you are welcome. Don't try to cover up your stupidity with you're pathetic sarcasim.

[raspberrysmoothie]

The reason why they have these comment boxes is so people can debate, unfortunately debates can get into arguments so don't charge in as little miss peace maker/know it all. OFCOURSE its an actor OFCOURSE its fun, which is what i was debating in the first place. So please if you don't like it go and comment else where but don't tell people they are stupid for no particular reason....it makes you look bad.

[HamJamAndSpam]

I'm sorry stupid people just really annoy me.

I dont want to talk to you anymore.

[raspberrysmoothie]

thats fine with me.

Stupid people don't excist, just the opinionated.

[HamJamAndSpam]

That's just something stupid people say... Goodnight!

[raspberrysmoothie]

I thought you said you didn't want to talk to me anymore? Yet you reply? That was stupid of you.

[HamJamAndSpam]

No I just love you so much...

[raspberrysmoothie]

Ur funny for getting uptight about it.

[grizzlychris2]

i can't believe I'm having an "internet fight" with someone who chose the name raspberrysmoothie.....i think it's funnier that you feel you need to explain things like this. this video only has 6,000 views in the grand scheme of things it's not that great..You seem to think otherwise. far be it for me to criticize taste but you seem to have very low standards for humor..

[raspberrysmoothie]

well "grizzlychris2" (ooo like a bear). Ur the one insisting on sticking on these comments on how unfunny 'YOU' find it. What i like about the adverts is its about ppls perceptions on films, its a fresh way of getting ppl interested, opening minds. For someone whos got a pyschadelic star wars video on there page with darth vader in bed with a large head? Is that funny? Makes no sense. Listen theres a reason this is british and its cos its British humour. So dnt start on me just cos u dnt get it.

[Jack71188]

lol Star Wars fans taking it seriously. It's a joke!

[notalotofspace]

come on guys its a joke! Its british humour, its lost on americans sometimes.

[ButtPoopWiggle]

TWOO sucked.

[ooSharkGunneroo]

WOW what a load of crap.

I mean come on! thats stupid

[donmonheim]

actually most people say that it was based on othello. think about that shit it'll blow your mind

[jellybumfruitcakes]

I would like to say that this is bollocks! Chewie is not a coward!!! C3PO is way cooler than the soddin tin man...dude please!

[rissaofthesaiyajin]

...This just blew my mind.

Dark Side of the Moon parallels have nothing on this.

[dechha1981]

Episode 4 does have similarities to the Wizard of Oz actually (but moe sophisticated than that guy said)

Even as a kid I noticed the similarities between Han and Luke beating aup a couple of storntroopers and the Scarecrow, lion and Tinman beating uip some Winkies (green guys with big noses)
