This is a rather straight forward but also rather brilliant trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. It’s a bit of a mass catch up that shows scenes and landscapes we’re all familiar with, introduces the Sith, the war and then characters will be familiar with. Despite these introductions this The Old Republic trailer doesn’t […]
The Force parody
You’ll recall Vokswagen’s The Force ad for the Super Bowl that went mega viral. Now we have a parody – and it’s a great one. All hail Marin Plourde aka Violent Broccoli for this re-take. Imagine if Mini Vader had actual powers. What if it wasn’t a Passat? Superb! It’s worth checking out Violent Broccoli’s […]
Bloopers and cut scenes from “The Force”
This week Geek Native was one of the cthuzillion blogs who ran the Volkswagen “The Force” video. We’re at it again. Watch as we climb on the Volks bandwagon and bring you the bloopers and scenes cut from “The Force”. Volkswagen would call this “The Making of”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM3s37fZZts My question is; aren’t all kids a […]
Volkswagen’s “The Force” Super Bowl ad
The TV ads which run during the Super Bowl (some sort of ball throwing festival, as far as I understand it) are big business. The Super Bowl attracts the attention of very many eyeballs and so advertisers spend big bucks and showcase their very best campaign messages. I hereby dub this little fellow as “Volksy […]
Alternative Star Wars is sexy and tattooed
The photographs in this blog post are a collection from Robin Cook. These are just a sample, just enough to tempt you to go check out his blog and admire the rest. Interestingly, he calls these “Part 1”. Still not a fan of tattoos.
Sexy Mrs Vader as you’ve never seen her before
It’s true that you should be keeping an eye on Geeks are Sexy. It’s not true that they concentrate on finding sexy geek images – it just so happens that sometimes that’s exactly what they do. For example, there’s this Mrs Vader image they grokked off IGN (which now seems to have been removed from […]
Darth Vader walks with you: Galaxy S on Docomo
This blog would be worse off without great ads from Japan. Starting with a Japanese ad is a good start, adding in sexy tech like the Samsung Galaxy S makes the post sound even more promising and when we can throw in some Darth Vader Star Wars. What do you think? I think I’d probably […]
Beethoven Vader
Richard Grayson is cool. He’s a pianist who gets tossed a curve ball while asking the Crossroads School for tunes to play. That’s right. Someone suggests he plays Darth Vader’s theme for Star Wars. Not only does Grayson step up to mark he produces a Vader theme deep with feeling. Gosh, well, it’s so emmo […]
Vader Time
Sometimes Geek Native will dive into the archive of golden oldie geek goodies. This is one such post. At the time of writing this Darth Vader and Stormtroopers clip has had 1.9m views. The 2 million mark is in sight. It was uploaded in July 2009. I think that counts as a classic. What do […]
R2-D2 and Darth Vadar swimsuit
The blogs have certainly picked up on this rather cute R2-D2 (aka: ‘artoo’) singlepiece swimming costume. By the way, is that the right term “singlepiece”? I think One Piece… but that’s probably just my anime brain talking. You can certainly see the social media craze around the costume as worked. Black Milk, the people who […]
