Gunaxin has pretty awesome cllection of Star Wars commercials, but I had to share this gem of Col. Sanders, the short-lived Pizza Hut girl and the Taco Bell chihuahua fighting of an army of battle droids. I'd forgotten it existed, but man, seeing he fried chicken magnate bust out a lightsaber and begin taking out droids is as awesome as anything that actually ended up in Phantom Menace.

God...this commercial is over ten years old. How'd that happen?
And tis a pity they didn't really do more with the Pizza Hut Girl...though I suppose she loses more than a little appeal if she's not slinging a blaster around with a harried, devil-may-care attitude.
"Shoot first with Pizza Hut!"

I hate that damn dog so much.
I was worried for the pizza hut girl, col. sanders was either going to chop her head off or give her the nursing home bad touch

It's kind of degrading to the two human actors that the damn chihuahua got way more lines than they did.
Hell, the Colonel never says a word.

I actually smiled while watching that. I found it engaging, and it captured the 'spirit' of the original trilogy.
None of those sentiments were experienced when watching the prequels.

Oh wow! I forgot about that old promotion! My buddy and I used to walk like, a mile, every week to the Taco Bell in town, and collected those little medallions, sadly, we never could get all the special medallions to win whatever the prizes where.
I forgot this happened so long ago, dang, now I feel old.

"The Naboo system has been invaded by who? Orcs? What'd you say dear?" Seeing an old guy swing around a pre-fx lightsaber back and forth is kinda funny.

I like to think that my pain from the prequel debacle has finally subsided, but every now and then I catch myself thinking of one more thing it screwed up on.
Blasters! Watching pizza girl sling that "clumsy", "random" bad boy around > than all those sabre swinging extras in Episodes 2, 3, and the clone wars combined.

The Taco Bell Chihuahua is from the same planet as Frank in Men In Black... Which proves that the Men In Black universe is the same as the Star Wars Universe... Which proves that E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is present in the Men In Black Universe (as E.T.'s people had a seat in the Galactic Senate).
Six degrees to Taco Bell dog.

Or maybe that should be Six Degrees to Henry Thomas?

Are you serious? That is possibly one of the worst commercials ever made. That stupid dog was overdone even by the time it was made, and teaming it and the pizza hut girl with a Col Saunders fraud that probably had the real Col Sanders rolling over multiple times in his grave, should've prompted a singularity that sucked all unfunny and inauthentic corporate commercials into a void.

This is simply great. I had no clue that these even aired, because I thought Taco Bell stopped having the cool toys after the original Trilogy remakes.
Although, we should be glad that Long John Silver's didn't have a mascot, otherwise we would have seen all of Yum! Foods' icons on screen, and that would have been a stretch.

So, did anyone else think Col. Sanders looked kinda asian?
No offense to asians or the Col. I just think its kind of and odd choice.
Should have went with Mel Gibson.

That I would hit. And you know she'd have something ready to feed you afterward. I cannot imagine why she did not catch on as a spokesdroid while that slithy Jack clown did.
Oh wait, they can fire the guy in the Jack costume any time and replace him with a different day laborer at will.
