This is a homage to the idea of the 1980s commercials for the toys, but with no children, with bad lighting, not the best sound recording, very little space to move, no one to hold the space ships for me and finally edited on Quicktime Pro. I had fun making it, maybe I will do a director's cut of it soon along with several remixes and different alternate versions, and also find someone else to hold one of the spaceships next time. One thing to point out is that these days the Star Wars spaceship toys often have no electronic action features that would brighten the commercial up, no laser gun noises and no pulsing lights. There are so many characters on sale nowadays that anyone not versed in great knowledge about all the characters in the films actually might not have a clue what is going on here at all or who half the figures are. So they can be forgiven for this and I admit that I have forgotten a few names myself but I am aware that they do have names if I want to read up on them. So goes the shock and wonder of the world of Star Wars toys. In a further version, I might have to go and spell out who each and every character is, and point out each and every small action feature on the space crafts that are supposed to chasing each other without the aid of cannons that have electronic lights and noises
new one coming almost shortly

someone here named Darthtater mentioned that the narrating was messed up, and in my attempt to reply I accidently deleted his message. Yes, it does have a "messed up narrating" quality to it. I think it was just having to bend over to talk into the computer's inbuilt microphone.

Part of the fun for me was to watch my best attempt to put this thing together turn into something possibly totally botched up and incoherent, and quite honestly realise that there's probably not a lot I could do about it to make it better, or perhaps the more botched up, incoherent and ham fisted this attempt might be, maybe the more truthful it is as well as an attempt at doing something.

Gosh thanks! I'm working on sorting out ideas for another (non)commercial!
