LucasFilm Joins Forces with Six Major Brands to Celebrate Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker sees Lucasfilm and director J.J. Abrams join forces once again to take viewers on an epic journey to a galaxy far, far away for the riveting conclusion of the seminal Skywalker saga, where new legends will be born and the final battle for freedom is yet to come.

Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker have teamed up to promote limited edition Coca-Cola No Sugar in a campaign that brings ‘Full Force Zero Sugar’. The packaging will feature six specially commissioned Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker character illustrations by Russell Walks and invites buyers to “collect all characters now”. To promote the campaign, Coca-Cola has created a vending machine that lets people experience the feeling of ‘the Force’ in real life; “The Feel the Force Machine’. Using EEG headsets, players battle it out using their powers of concentration to pull the can towards them in order to win one of the Coca-Cola Zero Sugar limited edition cans. Additionally, the brand invites users to participate in the “Feel the Force Challenge”, a digital game experience that utilises innovative hand recognition technology to allow users to feel like they’re using the Force to answer Star Wars trivia questions. The collectible edition packs will be supported by TV, cinema, paid social, digital, out of home and POS activity and will run until January 2020.

Samsung and Star Wars are aiming to create a joyous and stress-free holiday season as part of its special holiday collaboration. To kick off the campaign, Samsung and Star Wars will release a campaign video centred around a dog with a striking resemblance to iconic Star Wars character, Chewbacca, as well as another character that Star Wars fans will recognize toward the end of the video. The story of the campaign film is about how a family communicates seamlessly across their Galaxy devices to make their holiday dreams come true. With the connected ecosystem amongst Galaxy Note10, Note10+, Watch Active2 and Tab S6, the film tells that amazing things are possible. The film features a number references to the Star Wars galaxy for fans to enjoy.
